The OP's point is that the exchange rate went down since the announcement.

As price have huge fluctuations like it does now, so does that fiat value.

It doesn't matter what the value of the bitcoin is when they are sold by the hacker(s). All that matters to bitstamp is the cost to them to repurchase the 18k BTC to replenish their reserves

Maybe we should ask Obama to give the money back. He is the one secretly trying to kill Bitcoin!

Well, he says less money stolen, so I dont think he means the current price.

2 pizzas? Depends on the toppings, you can get 2 small with ocean pearls and 1/2 carat diamonds, or 2 party size with gold leaf and freshwater pearls.... no anchovies.

I haven't found any theoretical prove to your claim, as far as the Bitstamp itself is concerned, the figure is 5m$. Can you authenticate that source?

Whatever the reason and amount is, this is the kind of news that puts reputation and value at risk. So new invests are hard to come by.

IMO it really doens't matter. 18k BTC is still 18k BTC. What really matters is bitstamp's replacement cost of the coins that were stolen, not the value of the stolen coins at some arbitrary time
