hello.

at the risk of sending you off into another rant, is your point that cryptsy engineered this whole situation? (Have you heard of Hanlons Razor?)

because to me, it seems that you saw a bug, and rather than reporting it and not taking more than you own, you took out more than you owned.

the withdrawal software noticed (you even make this point by refilling the extra DC you took, so you could get the bigger prize)
then the balances of withdrawn diamond and btc go past what you actually own so you cannot take any more out.
you realise you cant take coins out but you can still trade, so you buy an extra 1.7k PHS?
diamond coin surges in price - you do not _want_ to repay the higher price so you go full-on-apeshit.

So the issue is more PHS didnt go up in price and diamond did. putting you in a position where you do not _want_ to pay the extra to level the diamond balance for the diamond coins that you did not own but still withdrew?

Is that a fair summary? I apologise in advance in case I am wrong.

I know they shouldnt have bugs and you have been burnt before, but I think if you were a little more mature in your thinking and a little less with the caps and the colours and the fonts and the hysteria you would  have probably done better. I dont know though, cryptsy needs to balance their books, those extra coins did actually belong to another person and not cryptsy - they were (rubbish) facilitators. so if you dont pay it back that person will either go without or someone else will have to pay.  (ala ponzi)

If you had not taken more than you owned you would not have had the negative balances...

Oh and they have not stolen you, they have stolen /from/ you. stealing you would be kidnapping.

anyway good luck! and remember all exchange owners have their price...
