Post by: CT:Levi on June 17, 2016, 11:07:56 AM
As we speak over 8 million ETH or 125 million dollars are gone.

Is this an attack? Are there going to be any money left? Who might be responsible for this?

i think there are two possibilities, either the creators messed up, left an error in code and now it is hacked, or the creators did this on purpose and "hacked" it themselves in order to profit

If I were DAO devs I would offer the hacker 1M ETH bounty to provide full disclosure, return funds and cease and desist attack. Maybe they have a chance if the Hacker has some sense of decency.

Not in the crypto world I know. Most people in here would bring down the crypto industry for 1 BTC profit.
