Topic: What's did mybitcoin walk away with? - page 3. (Read 7034 times)
Speechless about everyone losing their high amount of bitcoin. Even though I had one BTC in mybitcoin, something told me to pull out, believe this was a 1-2 days before mybitcoin went down. Had that gut feeling. Weird.
Anyone considered that this was likely a 1 man website and the owner could actually just have died?
Which would be one of the potentially better outcomes (not for him, maybe).
In this case, once we find out who he was, people could possibly get their bitcoins back.
How the hell can you keep ~1/3 million USD on a website if there is a much more secure way by keeping it on your own PC(s)?!

I opened an account, but did not trust it enough to use it. I don't even trust the established exchanges with much at one time. This is why we need better apps and clients for conducting transactions on our own systems. We need encrypted online wallets with multiple backups with user interfaces that are simple to use. It's a lot to ask, but now nobody will trust online wallets on single servers.
I actually don't remember. 
I opened an account with mybitcoin just out of curiosity and dropped something like 0.1 btc there.
No big deal for me, but i guess there are probably thousands like me, so that could also total up to something.

Bruce Wagner: ~25k ( http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=33020.msg416038#msg416038 )
There are also losses due to transactions that were in progress between customers and merchants.
Some merchants used mybitcoin as part of their ordering process.

Apparently a lot of people got hosed over mybitcoin.com. I see Todd Bethell got ripped for 1000 BTC in this thread, and countless others are reporting their money. 1000 BTC, that's already $14k+, isn't that theft over $5000? These people should be locked away in bitprison.
So... I figured I would make an updating list of everyone's losses here so we can see an estimated dollar value of what these people ran off with. Post here with your loss.
~25,000 - Bruce Wagner
1000 - Todd Bethell
618 - Chaos Computer Club donations in escrow
259 - SHlFT
85 - ball4thegame

55 - wobber
48 - valam
40 - Gabriel Beal

Total so far, between 27365.4 and 27366.8. @ $14 a coin that's like $380,000.
