Bitcoins have been stolen way before the latest problem with Linode. User name (can't remember spelling -- something like "Alvarin") had 25k stolen not too long ago, MyBitcoin, A1Bitcoin, and many, many smaller scams involving good/service/loan transactions unfulfilled.
Have sneaking suspicion that competent hackers lured into Bitcoin by financial gain through unethical means probably aren't the kind of folks who'd be appreciated by BTC community. I switched to Armory this morning for easy management of offline wallets after reading about what's happened, so that's something positive -- for me, anyway.
