I'd like to see the BTC 200 from Eligius and 300 from Blockwitholder put in escrow and a trusted 3rd party audit carried out.
I'd rather this was done than some witch hunt / trial by media.
Agreed! I was just about to move my TH's to Eligius, but seeing this information has me a bit worried about doing so.
If you have plan to deploy 1000+T, you really should hire someone to setup a private pool.
If you just have several TB, The profit which eligius get by stealing your coin is much less than the loss after being hit by media and newspaper, so you are still safe.
