True. Stolen coins will be dumped immediately on Huobi, China and BTC-E within the next hours.

Wouldn't that give the hacker away? Do the exchanges apart from BTC-E require KYC documents? They might have to report big transactions like someone dumping thousands of bitcoins.

KYC must be used where fiat trades are involved.

well, at least this explains the recent price drop!

Therefore, no need to panic...watch the market and come out on top

It does not really matter whether you short now or buy now. The price will apparently drop further and pop back up once the bitstamp issue is resolved.

Keep cool

Bitcoin is not hackable with the private key kept private.

Exchanges are hackable because of poor security and/or shitty passwords.

See where the weak link is?

When you send your stash to an exchange you risk losing it all. That is why Smart Contracts and Automated Transactions have been born. It will eliminate all exchanges once this goes mainstream.

bitcoin itself is not hackable of course. but if the scams keep happening and criminals get hands on all of the free money. Then bitcoin will go no where. And also the exchanges that handle so much money should be careful. While they don't give a fuck because this community as a whole is careless, And only runs to exchanges to short their btc. And do nothing about the issues.

Someone posted this address in a comment on some article. He said that was the address where his bitcoins were sent to. from his bitstamp address. (something like that).
