I'm seeing some posts in Twitter about BitPay being hacked. Over $80,000,000 worth of bitcoin gone. Can anyone confirm this?
If this is true that's terrible when the new years was starting off so well. Shit like this will discredit bitcoin more than countries banning it.

So no sources other than Twitter and Reditt?
And I need glasses as I thought the title said Bitcoin has been hacked
. Again some dumbass jumping to the wrong conclusion. A load of rubbish imo
This is why I put a question mark in the title and asked if anyone here could confirm. Not trying to troll or spread FUD. I'm glad this is turing out to be false
LEAVE THE CAPS LOCK OFF AS WELL
Can a mod amend the title or delete the thread?
Ammend it to what? It has been amended to a false alarm.

honest mistake. Unfortunately the market manipulators prey on that and when a rumor get out of hand it can have significant financial consequences.
bitpay.com is one of the major players and tony is one of the good guys. Lots of ney sayers would love to see a successful bitcoin business fail.
Fortunately it was nipped in the bud.
Hopefully they catch the guy who started the rumor.

BCB , please remove his negative trust.
He did change the title and it wasn't an intention to scam.
Check his user history , I don't see him being a troll or a fudster.

I see my trust level is -6 now whatever that means... you guys are assholes 
No we are not. Deleted.
Thank you.
It's sad but inevitable that people will stoop to these dirty tricks and fake news campaigns.
I hope those responsible are made to face the consequences.
thebitcoinnews.co.uk should be questioned on their reporting ethic at least.
As for the guy who started this thread +1 IMO. It helped me steer round the BS when the link was posted on btc-e seemed to calm alot of nerves.
*edit* or should I add the answers in the forum from trusted members helped me see the news was fake. Thanks guys.

This is why i posted here to see if the news was real. People here know a great deal more than me. And the only reason I wanted to know is so I could sell some coins and pick them back up in a few hours at a lower price

So who is this Peter Wynn guy exactly?

Other question. Is Peter Wynn twitter account has been hacked? If not, he should pretend it or he will become Fontas²
I think that's more feesbile. A lot of the stuff that is being typed on that account right now doesn't seem like something that someone with his alleged experience and knowledge would be saying. Next thing you know, he will claim MTGOX and Cryptsy were in on it too.
Spread false rumor just with objectif buy lower is same as a scam for me
You undermine trust in forum information if you dont have some critical thinking before posting BS

Am I understanding this Peter Wynn dude right? He's claiming Zynga and BitPay conspired together to steal his BTC from BTC-E??? Huh?
It's hard to filter through all those twitter comments he's been making, but that's what I gained out of it?
He spending the weekend in Denver???

Bitpay have no any official information on it and as well as that blockchain information is nothing. Its just securing bitcoin. So don't just troll.
