Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

They said they keep 10-15% in hot storage.
So...at least 180,000 bitcoins.

I think 180,000 coins is quite a low number for such a large exchange. Especially when there are plenty of large traders with at least 2,000+ Bitcoins. |

I already knew that. Still I think it's quite a low number of coins for such a large exchange. The 30K whale had nearly 17% of their total coin holdings. |

Well maybe most of those "large traders" are smart enough to not keep their coins on the exchange all the time.

There are some others that can should be Stamps. 1JoktQJhCzuCQkt3GnQ8Xddcq4mUgNyXEa 1JYTUJZMTsJkqDfLzBG1bGcaBngLgSPAoQ 1PuSoNughjE4zTdRQS2sDhLEFbVgkB3kS7 16vXP31udcx67Xk9KZJNAq2JM6i4hFSGyh 1Drt3c8pSdrkyjuBiwVcSSixZwQtMZ3Tew 1ABobw22YXGu4vKtysgX9AKRqz3fUFWv4E 1GVtpiTSEwC1vUe3UGFRBHjGTrWVFuiArs |

After all they haven't done much to compete against modern exchanges like okcoin and bitfinex. |

After all they haven't done much to compete against modern exchanges like okcoin and bitfinex. Or they were bleeding bitcoins through an exploit. It would be very reassuring to know they are holding 134 000 BTC, they should sign the address here : https://blockchain.info/address/1JoktQJhCzuCQkt3GnQ8Xddcq4mUgNyXEaThey said they keep 10-15% in hot storage.
So...at least 180,000 bitcoins.

Why put all your eggs in one basket? Their cold storage is probably now spread out among multiple addresses, most likely including those above. |
