Agreed. Unless a tier 1 accounting firm (Deloitte, PwC, etc) comes in and audits their books, I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. Bitstamp is large enough and has been in business long enough that they may indeed have been able to absorb this loss. If that's actually the case though, then they should have no problem proving it. On top of that, the publicly released audit results would be a huge marketing tool for them. The fact that they didn't do something like this and release it along with this statement makes me rather suspicious. It's not like they don't know that this is the first question on every single customer's mind.
