What an amazing coincidence they got hacked the day after a price crash! I wonder how this could keep happening.

  Yes it is. It is almost as though someone might have a vested interest in announcing a problem at exactly this point in time.

    Almost only, of course - I'm sure everyone at Bitstamp, and indeed every Bitcoin exchange, is of unimpeachable integrity, and it's just capricious Fortuna toying with their hot wallets.

      You might think this, but I could not possibly comment :)

        To be fair, conventional banks say "Yes, Mr. Smith, I'm sorry but it seems we misplaced all your money irretrievably. Sorry. It's gone. Forever. No, I'm sorry, but we aren't liable. Have a great day!" all the time. NO WAIT, THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING OF THE SORT.

          Banks used to do this sort of thing before the FDIC was established, but as you rightly point out the level of professionalism is somewhat lacking in these outfits.
