Confirmed its in the press threadhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=501582.0 Flexcoin, a Canada-based bitcoin bank, said it was closing down after losing bitcoins worth about $600,000 to a hacker attack enabled by flaws in its software code. Flexcoin said in a message on its website that all 896 bitcoins stored online were stolen on Sunday. My condolences for your loss but you should still be able to claim the ones in cold storage according to the article from the Cbc http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/bitcoin-bank-flexcoin-shuts-down-after-600-000-theft-1.2559018 The bank did say however, that any customers who had bitcoins held in so-called "cold storage" — not on the site online servers and therefore safe from digital attack — can still retrieve their funds free of charge.

Thank you in advanced for you help Sorry to hear your loss, and I guess there is nothing you can do :( Title: Re: Flexcoin have lost 9.55 of my bitcoins Post by: LeeWright on March 05, 2014, 09:25:19 AM Thank you all for your replies.
I am not sure if my coins will be returned or not. I am unaware if my coins where in cold storage or not? As this is a considerable amount of money It might be worth my while looking down the legal route? If anyone has any information regarding this it would be greatly appreciated. The owner of the website is James Gray and he lives in Canada Edmonton. Title: Re: Flexcoin have lost 9.55 of my bitcoins Post by: Sindelar1938 on March 05, 2014, 03:58:28 PM Commiserations
A bitcoin bank is such a bad idea that it saddens me to hear about folks who have lost out thru trusting them Title: Re: Flexcoin have lost 9.55 of my bitcoins Post by: neot on March 05, 2014, 05:09:04 PM Sorry to hear of your loss. :( Best way to keep BTC safe is in your own wallet.
