Unfortunately, it's true. It hasn't happened just once or twice. They may have some excuse in the ToS, I can't read legalese, but, again, they will have huge issues when non-technical people who are used to the penny-level precision and honesty of banking and stock trading. Same with Bitcoin exchanges. I had Bitstamp incorrectly execute orders twice, which cost me even more than the few dollar rate difference with Coinbase. I won't mention the situation where you have an open position during big movements and their service gets offline and you cannot react. When it comes to money, regulation doesn't seem like a bad idea! All these things added to widespread Bitcoin theft and marketplaces created just to steal bitcoin en masse hurt pretty badly the reputation of Bitcoin!
