The people that left their coins sitting on Mt. Gox's servers instead of getting them off immediately? Yes, those people are unusually stupid.
The people that are buying Lambroghinis ( http://articles.latimes.com/20... ), apartments ( http://www.uproxx.com/webcultu... ) and even castles in Estonia ( http://thebitcoinnews.co.uk/20... ) for mere pennies on the dollar don't seem very stupid.
The blockchain is PUBLIC. The vulnerability they mentioned is legitimate. They found 6000 successful attempts on the blockchain of double-spending a change transaction (all bitcoin transactions have an initial transaction and a change transaction, unless the amount matches perfectly).
These weren't related to known Mt. Gox addresses. How is this hard to understand that these guys know what they are talking about? Many of us in the bitcoin community could see this the very next day, as soon as we looked.
Every natural disaster results in hundreds of fake charities being set up to collect donations.
You mean like the Red Cross? Where they collect billions and give virtually nothing.
I used to work at an auto parts store where someone was stealing from the registers. Since we had just hired a guy back after going to jail (presumably for something he didn't do), all eyes were on him. It was a slow night, so my co-worker and I took a look at the shift logs and who worked 1-2 shifts before the money was found missing (because it had safe drops, you couldn't always tell the next shift).
It took us about 20 minutes to find the culprit. It was totally easy. So this is complete BS.
There's no hate campaign against Eich.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Did you miss the internet that day?
