Title: "About $350 at the time..."
Post by: Strongman on August 15, 2012, 10:49:19 AM
"The whole affair started in March when hackers skimmed over 46 000 BTC from the exchange with an attack aimed at the Webhost, Linode. Three months later, Bitcoinica Consultancy, which has supposedly been handling the exchange since this April, announced that it lost another 4 ,000 BTC (about $350 at the time) through an unauthorized withdrawal from a Mt. Gox account that the company had set up while disbursing refunds to its customers."

I wonder how long it will take before bitcoin is outlawed. As there are more legal disputes about bitcoin bitcoin's own legality will most likely come into question.

I dunno man, is the government really going to care about a few people losing $350? Those silly bitcoineers.
