I am hoping they should get 100%, I mean it's not their fault that company got robbed. And if Bitstamp wants to continue their business they will pay everyone all of their coins.

Knowledge its everything

More than 90%, since almost 19,000 BTC has been lost
But, i think they might try the best to return traders bitcoin

So, i think there won't be case like MtGox

When Poloniex lost i think 11% of its BTC it took from every account 11% and repaid over time from the fees.

This way it was logical for the users to support the exchange if they wanted to get back their coins and so they didnt took everything out of it.

How can it be 100% if the lossed at least 10% of their entire customer funds?

Let's be real unless they have excess coins of their own that they will use to bite the bullet, they are insolvent.

They said balances will be honored in full but not when...

Don't forget they received $10 million investment not so long ago.

I am wondering why they received 10 MIL. for...what? Improving their hacked platform? raising the salaries?

They seriously have enough pocket money to cover a $5 million loss? Wow, these guys really must be rolling in dough then.

They just released a new statement:

Quote

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS:

We have temporarily suspended Bitstamp services. Bitstamp customers can rest assured that their bitcoins held with us prior to temporary suspension of services on January 5th (at 9am UTC) are completely safe and will be honored in full.
On January 4th, some of Bitstamp’s operational wallets were compromised, resulting in a loss of less than 19,000 BTC. Upon learning of the breach, we immediately notified all customers that they should no longer make deposits to previously issued bitcoin deposit addresses. To repeat, customers should NOT make any deposits to previously issued bitcoin deposit addresses. As an additional security measure, we suspended our systems while we fully investigate the incident and actively engage with law enforcement officials.
This breach represents a small fraction of Bitstamp’s total bitcoin reserves, the overwhelming majority of which are held in secure offline cold storage systems. We would like to reassure all Bitstamp customers that their balances held prior to our temporary suspension of services will not be affected and will be honored in full.
We appreciate customers’ patience during this disruption of services. We are working to transfer a secure backup of the Bitstamp site onto a new safe environment and will be bringing this online in the coming days. Customers can stay informed via updates on our website, on Twitter (@Bitstamp) and through Bitstamp customer support at [email protected].

Luckily I've withdrawn my stuff on time.

I'm hoping they'll cover their losses because Bitstamp to me really didn't seem like another MT.GOX but you never know sadly, it's annoying, because I was actually hoping to use them to build an international savings account since they deal in dollars, if things don't work out I'll have to explore other options. If we're lucky, they'll actually turn out to be really honest and will refund the lost coins immediately, which would of course be brilliant because it would make Mark Karpeles look like an even bigger asshole than he already is Tongue

ask your money back.

Bitstamp has most of the money in their bank account. All their BTC must be backed by real money so, ask your money back asap.

Their bank will freeze their account in the following days.
