One of those pages you might want to see before someone changes it. ;) Title: Re: [2014-10-25] CD: Bitcoin Exchange Cryptsy Faces Lawsuit Post by: Rannasha on October 25, 2014, 03:33:59 PM They're not just suing Cryptsy for having poor security, they're claiming that Cryptsy is actively involved in the theft and that the "online cryptocurrency trading platform" is just a guise.
I don't think they have a big chance of winning this ^^ Quote This action seeks to compensate Plaintiff for the theft of his Bitcoin, an act of complex design, perpetrated upon him by Defendants under the guise of an online cryptocurrency trading platform created and deployed by Defendants specifically to induce the public, including Plaintiff, to transfer Bitcoin to Defendants for Defendants’ later misappropriation and use. |
