Funny how an over a magnitude more money just goes missing.

- tabeth 9y ago100 banks to get $300M - $900M is still a lot better than a single exchange losing half a billion.
- ikeboy 9y agoWell no, their customers lost it. Unless you think the unregulated exchange is going to make them whole.
- tabeth 9y agoCan't say I understand. Didn't the exchange's customer also lose it?
- ikeboy 9y agoMoney being taken from a bank generally does not get taken from the customers of that bank, unless the bank fails. Money being taken from an exchange generally leads to customers losing it, so one could split the loss among them, the same way you split the loss among banks above
- dragonwriter 9y agoSure, but even a half-billion lost is amateur hour compared to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1
