Title: List of exchanges and authorities that have lost users' funds
Post by: No_2 on May 14, 2014, 11:35:55 AM
Trying to find this info is proving rather difficult. I have a mental note that at least 5 exchanges have gone bust, frozen users funds, or forced them to take a haircut this year alone.

So my question is can anyone name any exchanges or finance services that have lost users coins.

So far off the top of my head I have:

  • mtgox.com
  • vircurex.com

Many hacks/losses are listed in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=576337
... but not only exchanges.

Easier to find those that haven't. Look at trilema for details of such 'losses'.

I imagine most of them have been attacked and incurred losses. I doubt they would admit this though as its likely bad for business  ;D

I would also add any "web wallet" or service that stores your funds or facilitates transactions by relinquishing your private keys.  inputs.io comes to mind.

Everyone knows about mtgox.com and what is vircurex.com? I've never heard about this exchange
