arrrgh... this is crazy (Bitfunder). Though I am a US citizen, the news is still sad.
I really hope AM is reading these news and is hurrying up deploying the blockchain based exchange. It was supposed to be out soon (post-Alpha phase?). We really need something like that, given that only Havelock remains and that is pretty fragile in itself. There is also the whole process of waiting 5-7 days or even more to transfer shares back and forth between the exchange and direct address. With a blockchain based exchange, this won't be needed and your shares are pretty much safe as your bitcoins on the blockchain.
Someone please send that Chinese girl for another round of exclusive interview with The Cat and get some leaks!
