Great to see that BitStamp did not run away after begin hacked. Anyway, I remember seeing a thread this morning with 8 people saying Bitstamp will return.

The article says European Union and the United States law enforcement agencies are investigating the hack. It would be great if the hacker gets caught this time.

Merlak said various institutions from the European Union and the United States were investigating the security breach without naming them. The Slovenian police told Reuters it was not involved in the investigation.

Merlak, 28, and his colleague Nejc Kodric, 25, both computer experts, founded Bitstamp in 2011. According to the Slovenian media the two had earned about 23 million euros ($27.2 million) from the enterprise which places them among the 50 richest Slovenians. ($1 = 0.8469 euros)

They earned $27.2 million between them? If this is true, they will have no problems bringing Bitstamp back to life.

I hope so. Hackers usually have a habit of getting away with things :-[

We don't need to do anything, supply and demand are doing all the job

A relief rally is de rigeur now. How far can it go? If it gets to squeezing the shorts - then it can go pretty high.

Are they open yet?

If they survive the "bank run" it will create a very bullish situation IMO.

The first time in history a "bank" has actually had the shit they claim they do?!?!?! (legit.. I don't think it's happened before they ALWAYS have less gold, w/e than they said they do.. always)

This is huge. If this turns into another Gox things are going to get very ugly.

"Trading will resume during the day today," Damijan Merlak, one of Bitstamp's two Slovenian founders, told Reuters in an emailed message on Friday.

Problem is, "today" is running out in Slovenia, or in the UK for that matter.  Still 7 or 8 hours to go until midnight...

Why do I get the feeling that BitStamp is the next Gox? All we need now are protestors and dessert-like coffees.

The scenario where they were going under and decided to fake the theft is my concern. Gox II would usher in a new era for btc and trading, and it won't be pretty.

I really hope they pull through with this promise. But why only announce such a date via some new outlet and not on their official site or twitter feed? If it was up to me, they could wait until Saturday or even Sunday if they needed that time to get things right, but they should definitely stick to an officially communicated time!
