did you read the story of this guy?

During the crowdsale, I was inspecting the accounts that send ETH to the EOS contract (copy-pasting them in EtherScan) and, once I decided to send my EOS to my exchange address, I wrongly sent it to another address which I had copied. A big fault and I must have been so much more careful. It was early morning which I had just woke up, etc.. I must have been so much more careful as that is almost $200,000 worth of EOS tokens which is so big for me and for almost anyone. Idiot me, exactly.

poor guy, i felt sorry for him. make your transactions carefully guys.

Yeah this is the kind of thing that is going to need a lot more protections against before crypto is ready for mainstream. If someone tech savvy enough to have that much ETH can make this mistake, then I can only imagine how many newbs would do the same thing.

I feel for the guy, that really sucks. He should have double checked, but man that's a lot of cash to lose.
