I find it odd the silence coming from the various US authorities.
You mean to tell me they got wind of this and other incidents like GOX..
and.. well ? NOTHING.
REALLY ? SERIOUSLY ?
Mark & Paul have plenty to spend on coke & hookers after stealing a half billion dollars.
And apparently no one gives two shits ..except the lawyers hoping to snag a percentage of a class action lawsuit.
Hey Americans i hope you are enjoying your "Justice".
What this tells the world is hey, "crypto coins" ..ALL ABOARD THE SCAM TRAIN CHOOO CHOOOO !
For example the guys at Bittrex or BTCe or Poloniex could say hey know what ?
..we been haxed. Then wander off with the ill gotten booty..
with nary a police officer in sight.FUDtorial:I have to hope these guys get caught and punished hard.
Otherwise i am concerned with what will eventually end up playing out in the future (more victims)
Just remember people the chanting of NO LAWS and "Free Market" has consequences.
After all it nearly collapsed the US economy..
Funny Allan Greenspan was warned for ages by his board members that they needed to put in *some* type of regulations or things are going to collapse like a house of cards.
He refused.
He kept saying no, the markets will not let their cash cow fail..
It did !Now here we are RIGHT AFTERWARDS repeating it all with "Crypto Coins"
Don't get me wrong i am not advocating a bunch of crappy laws jammed down our throat we don't want.
I am saying something should be done with law / regulations and hopefully we can have a say in it all.
It's possible these victims would not be out money had their been at least some basic laws governing exchange
transparency.
It's possible these guys would have been caught far sooner screwing with the numbers behind closed doors.
I started out against any laws etc.
But in time i couldn't see how it all could be sustained in a healthy way with out *
some*.
Are you all content to just leave it as it is knowing full well any of these exchanges can simply walk off with your money with no repercussions ?
Are you all willing to say hey.. it just comes with the territory ?
Is that the price you are willing to pay to have your "Free Market" to get your ROI's ?
Don't forget..
A lot of that money was ear marked for crypto currency productions that are set back now because of theft of funds.
These hack incidents are a set back in many ways not readily apparent.
Not to mention the ugly black eye the scene gets when shit like this goes down.
I dunno.. whatever.. enjoy your FUD guys hahahha
