Perhaps we need a thread on dollar heists, thefts, scams and losses.
Sure. Keep denying or minimizing the theft/scam problem, that is a wonderful way to build public confidence.
At least 10% of all the bitcoins in existence must be in possession of thieves and scammers (the MtGOX "theft" alone took 5%). Only a couple of thieves have been caught and prosecuted. Few if any of the bitcoins that were stolen, embezzled, or obtained by fraudulent means have been returned to their legitimate owners. There is no evidence that such crimes are diminishing.
