People are trolling the guy for not taking enough security. It's getting to the point where if you do not have PhD in computer science then your coins can be hacked... cold wallets are difficult enough to understand having the correct background.

We need better insurance policies for the regular users. It would be better there were insurance plans for bitcoins.

When somebody hacks your bank account, the bank gives you back all your money. In this respect the banking system is far superior for large amounts of money.
The OP has mentioned that he normally keeps his bitcoin in a wallet other then on blockchain.info. He also said that he only transferred his coins to a blockchain.info wallet in order to use their shared send feature. The fact that he was trying to use shared send via tor would likely mean IMO that he was doing something illegal with his bitcoin

Why does it matter if he was doing something illegal with his coins?
