Dear customer,

Today our transaction processing server detected problems with our hot wallet and stopped processing withdrawals.

You should STOP SENDING bitcoin deposits to your Bitstamp account IMMEDIATELY as private keys of your deposit address may be lost.

Your bitcoins already deposited with us are stored in a cold wallet and can not be affected.

We will send you more info as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Bitstamp team

What about MtGox or Moolah?  Accounting practice failure or somebody found a loophole..

Best way to save an exchanger is reducing their temptation to make a runner with your moneh.

Reducing that temptation can save the exchange site! Act accordingly.

The post seems like they have it under control. I've never used them, but if that post is accurate, it's a good update

If they can solve this and cover any potential losses it would strengthen their image as a reliable exchange and improve their security. Good things can come out of this.

if not we gonna see a new bottom

I opened Mycelium on my phone and saw that the price of bitcoin was $0 I thought bitcoin was dead.

I think I can, unfortunately, retract this post  

If anyone was affected, I hope everything turns out ok. Just let this be a reminder that in addition to Gox, nobody in Bitcoin will ever be too big to fail. No matter what coins you are holding, please secure your wealth at a local level as diligently as possible

If it is realy only 5 millions that will be fine. Bitstamp have much more value.

For last year each of 2 owners is worth 22,9 milions euros.

Yes I think (if they want) - they can buy 19k at the current market price and recover the loss , now we have only to wait another statement.
