Just a summary of the Bitcoinica hack in siliconangle.com
Kristina Farrah writes surprisingly sloppily for a site which often covers bitcoin topics:
" Bitcoin assured, however, that the amount isn’t all of their currency and that they will not inhibit withdrawals"
&
"We can recall Bitcoin suffering a number of serious compromises..."
Like so many journalists new to covering Bitcoin issues - she doesn't appear to make the distinction between the Bitcoin ecosystem itself,Bitcoinica and other Bitcoin service providers.
(Usually the siliconangle journalist covering Bitcoin is Kit Dotson)
