They should publish a text explaining what's happening

explaining what? WE didn't care about you, fouls?

BitStamp is down for sure. why? they have two options:

1. they cover the loss but their credibility will be almost zero anyway.who will deposit money into a former hacked system? maybe in time...but time is money and i am sure Bitstamp won't resist on market with all their monthly expenses which are not small at all.

2. they close the business and keep the rest of the money. very simple to do it.

lots of these addresses are active, seems, and are receiving and sending to multiple addresses

high transaction fees suggest they convincing  miners to move stolen coin while the

addresses are still highly visible also they may be employing a 3rd party mixing service

[mayax]

agree with you, this is what I stated above.

this looks really bad...
even they could recover,which I think not, they are in a bad situation now

After the price crash, this is another blow to Bitcoin.    Bitstamp fucked up, but what can I believe now? Cold wallet,maybe.

option one is not always true.

for example c-cex.com lost all his btc in march 2014, but right now is more alive than ever.
If they can recover all the btc, and prove that they will improve security, they can survive

is he opening a strip club? alas magikarpa muffin shop?

hahaha, yes, he is in a middle of lap dance while someone is breaking his "house". you see, the owners are two "kids" who are thinking they are Gods just because they made millions from their clients.
next time, be more careful to whom you entrust your money.

More than that, there are rumors their bank account will be frozen.

I agree. this is what I said too. it takes time(months, maybe a year) until you regain the trust. Bitstamp has a lot of expenses. it's hard to keep a company with zero money....

"A couple of exchanges will fail either due to regulations or fraud/incompetence of the owner."

One down 13 to go.

You're right, it should be more. I need one more exchange to make "a couple".

Vircurex is good enough?

[tzortz]

It had been done in the past a couple of times and they fixed it.

I believe they will do the same this time.

They are good.
