This writer has received more complaints about Cryptsy since his last story on the subject than he has billing notices. Seriously. Some of them were messages of support, some were further complaints. Most of them had a common theme: Cryptsy won’t let the customer withdraw his or her funds.
Within the last 24 hours, Cryptsy had some serious downtime. Their message was simple and, at this point, expected: “Trade engine and withdrawals paused while we investigate cause of lag. Your patience is appreciated. Thank you.”
Something should be gotten out of the way: with as many dissatisfied customers as Cryptsy has, a distributed denial of service attack is definitely not out of the question. Certainly a cyber attack like that is less expensive than a lawsuit, less time-consuming than going to the government, who reportedly are already investigating Cryptsy in several ways, and more effective at disrupting their business model. For those who believe the exchange is an elaborate scam, it may be considered a public service: if no one can use the site, no one can be scammed by it.
