How convenient! This has been pulled far too many times in this community.

Feel the same.  If you don't protect/change your passwords and don't have a 2 step auth in place.  I'm not investing with you.  You aren't responsible enough to have my bitcoin.  Period.

The only surprising thing for me is that their bond price hasn't tanked.
I don't think you understand what he's implying.

It is indistinguishable whether the owner has transferred the funds out or they have actually been stolen by someone else. Standard procedure would be to just ignore the news and demand the funds back regardless -- and that's where it gets uncomfortable.
Spot on! Thank you for clarifying.

I also got ~60$ in BTC stolen from me on Mt.Gox. I regrettably used a common password between my websites, do any of you think that bitcointalk is being SQLi'd?

I think trading has stopped on GLBSE for it, because people were getting errors trying to sell/buy before they made the posting about the loss.

password It was re-used on 3-4 sites only, and most of those are full financial institutions.

thing that got me was reusing passwords and no google auth or yubikey

The coins are sitting at 13HLqK2p7xwcxRQomKUyzXzsS2PCm1eAde  if anyone wants to watch for them.

If there are any BTCSYN investors that haven't seen the announcement of the theft on their forums, please see: http://forum.btcsyn.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=84

In summary, $12189 USD was sitting on the founder's MtGox account waiting for a mining hardware purchase and was transferred to BTC and withdrawn in the night. At the moment the symbol is frozen on GLBSE.
