MT. GOX is the most major events and ltcgearstore. although we hired LTC however associated with bitcoin. very big lie because I invested heavily here. indeed that day is a day that is not profitable
Any information about this?
Yep, a dedicated thread to collect them all -> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/list-of-major-bitcoin-heists-thefts-hacks-scams-and-losses-576337
MTGox
Trendon shavers
Bitcoinica
the thing about all scams is that people keep putting all their funds into uninsured third parties hands, people they have never met but weirdly trust with thousands of dollars of value.
if you want to avoid a scam never put all your eggs into one basket. and if you cannot find enough info about who is 'managing' your deposits, to be able to slap them with a wet fish and a court order.. then dont put any in.

Yep, Mt Gox for sure
that amount was probably part of the reason why the price tanked afterward, mtgox was also a heavy centralized exchange, too many coins there, there should be more decentralized exchange, everything around bitcoin should be decentralized to avoid this troubles
For sure the scam of Mt Gox. According to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox
"On 24 February 2014, Mt. Gox suspended all trading, and hours later its website went offline, returning a blank page. An alleged leaked internal crisis management document claimed that the company was insolvent, after losing 744,408 bitcoins in a theft which went undetected for years."
