Why create ANOTHER thread for this?
It is an unfortunate situation, but a lot of people are in the same boat. My advice would be to wait and take the bitcoins in 3 days. You shouldn't lose any money out of it.
Bitfloor exchange was hacked.

Bruce Wagner is probably telling you the truth and used bitfloor, and he seems to be doing what he can. Why dont you just wait 3 days?

Hope everyone involved gets theie money back.
Sucky...... 
This is what he just wrote to me....I think I should just file a police report at this point. Is there any chance of me getting a penny of my money back? What do you guys think I should do? I am beyond frustrated and angry!
So here's what happened....
The supplier where we have been getting our Bitcoins from.... was hacked and robbed.
They lost about $250,000 worth of Bitcoins. About $10,000 worth of those Bitcoins was OURS. ( Lucky it wasn't a lot more than that, at the time. )
So, I am quickly arranging to get more Bitcoins through an alternate source, but it will take a couple of days to complete the bank wire transfer to Hong Kong... and get the Bitcoins in hand.
First, obviously, I apologize for any inconvenience and trouble this delay has caused. It cost me $10,000 so far. Plus unhappy customers, which is even worse.
At this point, I can give you two choices. You can either wait about 3 days for the entire Hong Kong bank wire / purchase process to complete.... Then I'll send the Bitcoins to you. Or.... I can issue a refund to you of your US dollars. However, note that issuing a bank check by mail will take about 2 weeks to be sent in the mail.
Please let me know which one sounds better to you. And, again, I apologize for this situation.
Obviously, we will be using a different supplier and this should never happen again.
