It's not. They're basing that number of faked figures which were no doubt exaggerated to further their scam:

Reports are emerging from Hong Kong that local bitcoin exchange MyCoin has shut its doors, taking with it possibly as much as HK$3bn ($386.9m) in investor funds.
If true, the supposed losses are a staggering amount, although this estimate is based on the company's own earlier claims that it served 3,000 clients who had invested HK$1m ($12,890) each.

There's nothing that can be done about that, but there are plenty of scams involving cash so I don't see why this should tarnish it, though the public will believe whatever they want to about btc even if it comes from a place of ignorance. Hopefully they will see the power and potential of bitcoin over time.

Some really bad reporting here. Off by an order of magnitude.

It should be around 38 million, not 380...
