No need to do that, or what?
Unless, of course, the Stamp guys actually have something to hide ... But that obviously can't be true!!! It's not like some Bitcoin exchange owner would ever tell a lie to his customers! That's impossible!

if they enable fiat withdrawals and leave all the other things disabled, then all people can do is withdraw.
that would not be in their best interest.

Maybe true, but I have a fiat withdrawal which I confirmed before the service was shut down, and nothing has been processed. That is inexcusable. Bitstamp is holding my fiat which I withdrew Jan 4th, 2015. |

The first thing to do after a hack is shut the system down and take a forensic copy of all the hard drives. After that they would probably send all the physical hard drives to a laboratory to try to recover any deleted evidence.
Maybe they could have manually processed fiat withdrawals afterwards, but as xybersurfer commented, that would not be in their best interest.

It's normal to suspend all operations. Can Bitstamp be sure only bitcoins were stolen? Can they be sure no nasty surprises were left behind by the attackers, such as back doors that would allow further theft?

Because the only time these exchanges actually realise they have had bitcoins stolen is when their fiat reserves are insufficient and banks bounce peoples withdrawals.
They're then like "umm fuck, our fiat doesn't match our coins" and shut everything down followed by quickly going insolvent.

Bitstamp is holding my fiat which I withdrew Jan 4th, 2015. If you're in the UK, or have an address in the UK, you can file a statutory demand for payment. That starts a 21 day legal clock, and if they haven't paid after 21 days, you can start putting them into liquidation. See: "Make and serve a statutory demand", published by the British government. The UK has tough collection laws. Bitstamp's registered address is: BITSTAMP LIMITED 5 NEW STREET SQUARE LONDON UNITED KINGDOM EC4A 3TW Company No. 08157033 Act now to avoid being caught in another Mt. Gox like situation. If it turns out that Bitstamp is OK, they'll send you your funds, and you're done. It won't hurt them if they pay. |

I gotta ask...are you ever happy? This is a legitimate question. Thats a really inappropriate question to ask . Looks like you think the op is trolling, but wouldn't you be worried if your money is stuck like that . |

He thinks that buying bitcoin in the scenario of a giant crash to double digits will lead to riches, rather than the end of bitcoin as a viable asset class for the next decade. Odd bitter man. It seems quite reasonable in the context of a minor loss of funds for stamp to want to restart their business after a short operating pause - rather than allow it to be destroyed by losing their entire user base to a rushed withdrawal of all funds. |

I am thinking about filing that statutory demand - but they even refuse to inform me about the exact balance of my account:
"Unfortunately, we are unable to check your account balance at the moment. This is because of the reasons, already stated in our previous response."
the previous response was:
"For the time being, you cannot withdraw bitcoins held in our wallet. This is because we have temporarily suspended our services in an attempt to make sure that all of our customers’ Bitcoin and personal information remain safe. We are working to restore our full services in the coming days, at which time you’ll be able to resume withdrawals, deposits, and other Bitstamp services."

Yes. I'm happy right now.  I'm happy that I didn't have any fiat or BTC on Stamp, which will declare insolvency and bankruptcy soon. Sorry for your loss, btw. |

Points to you for that gem But of course anyways would trade with caution and withdraw till issue is resolved this looks more than suspicious and well seen enough of them collapse mumble. |

Didn't they have a recent audit? What are they trying to hide, in your opinion? |
