TL;DR of the news:
if you're able to install software on someone else's computer or modify the code he compiles, you can steal his coins.
Duh.

It's non-news

Something is happening in the fiat markets, fasten your seatbelts

I certainly believe in the succes of bitcoin in the future,
but I am almost certain we are going down first. Bitstamp single sell order of 1750BTC,
he must know something to willing to sell so low (5% under market value)
Same thing happened with bitstamp just after the first <200$ breakout

Bring it on I say.

From the ashes, crypto 2.0 can emerge.

Bitcoin has been great, but recent events (not to mention Bitcoin facilitating all the illegal stuff) have been very damaging for crypto in general.

Inb4 Karpeles is Satoshi.

Bitcoin would go to 1 cent if this was true.

Everything makes sense now.

Karpeles made Bitcoin so he could launder his money through a online drug site. The site would grow popular due to its ability to not need a middle man, this would appeal to drug dealers, Karpeles target market. Next his site gets busted. He hires a frontman (Ross) to take the blame so he can work on plan B: Attack of the Willy bot. Using funds from SR and user
deposits he pumped BTC to 1200. Then he will cash out his funds and use that to deepen the rabbit whole. He would tip off newsweek to get crazy jorno's after Dorian Nakamoto while Karpeles Sataoshi escapes. He would play dumb so no one would expect him. He was an idiot fat kid, no one would suspect he was the master mind behind one of the most disruptive technologies ever.

More hostages in France (according to AFP).

(not that any of this will make any difference to the price of Bitcoin, though Europe is awake at the moment).

How can people be so stupid to believe him

Yes and no.  Public perception can change quickly and I'd guess that 90% of people who take the time to look at Bitcoin quickly realise that MtGox, scams and hacks are not Bitcoin's fault, and that Bitcoins use on Silk Road merely evidences some of it's (very desirable) core strengths (financial privacy, freedom to transact).

Besides, I'm not convinced people's perception of Bitcoin is any worse than people's perception of banks and bankers.  It's about even and only because people don't really understand what Bitcoin is.

No crypto will replace national currency any time soon, but a globally accepted form of money - maybe even a reserve currency - who knows?

Bah.  If a hacker can install malicious software in the offline computer where you generate keys and sign transactions, it can steal your coins in several ways.  That was well known (although many bitcoiners, and makers of hardware wallets in particular, will call you paranoid or worse if you dare to point that out.)
