$5 million or about 10% of their bitcoins are gone. Bitstamp will live I guess but that stings.

The Bitcoin price will fall in the next day/s
It has already gone down quite a lot before this happened!

Came across this now, bad news and bad time for all those who have their coins stuck.
If Bitstamp becomes like Gox, its going to hurt investor confidence a lot. Bad time for this to have happened.

You see. Vod knew this long time ago, that Bitstamp is scam. He placed negative trust to one of Bitstamp owner half year ago. If more people would listen to Vod, world of crypto would be much safer.

That was because of a totally unrelated issue. But yeah, I see what you did there

Guys relax, this has been done at least a couple of times the last year and Bitstamp took care everything.
I can remember it took 48h or something if not mistaken last time to open up again.

Bitstamp covering all the losses is not going to be enough. Traders are still going to withdraw all their coins. Bitstamp will have to find out where the leak is and fix it. Once they fixed it, perform a full system audit, confidence can return.
I said above. these things will takes months and BitStamp won't afford(because they don't want to lose any cent) to cover the losses and to keep the company expenses.
Bitstamp credibility is zero at this point. No update since 12 hours ago. They didn't understand that they are playing with people's money not with bricks.
Their customers must ask the money back by bank wire. Their bank account is STILL functional.
Almost all their BTC must be backed in real money, right?
I would ask the money today not tomorrow.
Must be trolling or new.
good one! (real money)Just relax, everything is going to be all fine...

Calm the fuck down everyone.
Ofcourse it is very sad you are not able to trade, however, your coins are safe.
I hope you are able to trade before the bottom.
Bitstamp will prove that this market is robust after the mtgox drama

Bigger exchanges like that should get their shit together, that wont't be good if this happens to be the same thing as gox just hope it's not. 
They earn 18k btc in 2 month but im afraid
A lot of panic in here.
I hope they will recover. So far it doesn't seem as bad as many suggest, but just time can tell ...

how can i know if they lost MY btc? i can't even log in!
Bitstamp said they will cover the loss, probably by their own money. And they should do that to regain some of their business's reputation, otherwise nobody would trade on their site anymore.
where can i find their statement about this?
