Did the bad guys sell to themselves at a 1¢, so that $1k withdrawal = 100kBTC?

I hope not, but that would explain the crazy price.

The limit is 50BTC or 1000$, or at least some are saying that.

[miscreanity]

Aside from the limit, how would you guarantee that the seller matches up himself as the buyer on an open exchange?

1000$ per account, and the bad guys got all the accounts

[ahitman]

They got a list of accounts, but not access to ALL the accounts. The passwords were encrypted, but not strongly, so if you had a weak password it is possible for someone to decrypt it. The crazy part is that they got access to the database through a compromised computer that is owned bu the someone who was doing a security audit on the back end of the exchange!
