So no need for widespread panic?

Nope.  One centralized exchange with bad actors/bad operators having issues does not cause panic.

Just a continuing problem with these centralized overseas exchanges with no rules, laws, or regulatory framework to properly make sure it's customers aren't taken advantage of like Mt. Gox...

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.

More @ http://www.coindesk.com/hong-kong-exchange-mycoin-disappears-387m-reports-claim/

Expected outcomes for most exchanges. Watch out when the major 3-4 major exchanges blow out next time.

If this so-called exchange was so large (based on the amounts lost), why hasn't anyone mentioned anything about them until now?

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.

Oh my, not again. This is big. If it is true, it will definitely cripple investors confidence that they have towards bitcoin.

people must learn that Bitcoin is good, Centralized exchanges are bad.

It wasn't big, its just that they had large amounts from investments, only from a few rich people.

Doubt it will do much of anything. None of the great news of the past year has helped the value, can't see how this would shake the value either.

Because it was a scam operation that actually didn't do anything.

MyCoin was not an exchange.

Investors said they were lured by promises of a HK$1 million return in four months for buying a HK$400,000 bitcoin contract which would produce 90 bitcoins on maturity.


It was also a "Trading center" but at the base it was only a ponzi scheme (always this cloud mining  Roll Eyes). These were the services :

Why does the title say 387$ million ? Doesn't sound like nothing.

Why are you always so negative about Bitcoin?
I remember when the price fell below $200 you made this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=924379.0 with the title "Who is coming to funeral of Bitcoin |RIP BITCOIN"

It's as if you want it to be dead??

so many sources are wrong on this story, it's incredible tbh.

Mycoin HK offered a ponzi scheme contract which was paid in FIAT currency, no one ever invested a single Bitcoin into this scam.

All investors were promsied a guaranteed 90 Bitcoin payout when their contract matured.
