Bter is up, but only for NXT, USD, CNY
Why not XCR and other coins? :| From what they said 'only' BTC was stolen.
I dont know for sure, but I have my suspicions about the more popular coins. Because the exchanges will always have SOME coins, especially the popular ones, they can sell the coins to the market on other exchanges, use the money for operating expenses, and be pretty sure that they can buy them back someday for cheap.
The garbage coins, like Meow Coin, have been sold by the exchanges knowing that the coin was going to evaporate and become worthless
At least one exchange claimed a BTC hack a year ago, and then went away with a "Sorry, the coins are gone"
It is more likely that the BTC was sold into the market for the use of the exchange owners.
There was a report yesterday that the investigation into the Mt Gox theft, shows it was an inside job.
When Mintpal went under, I lost not only some BTC, but 250,000 Jackpot coins and some other misc alt coins. The theft was reported to be just he BTC. WHat happened to the alt coins? Were they sold by the exchange?
