Bitcoin Heist Steals Millions from Exchange

Cryptocurrency exchange Cryptsy says it was robbed in 2014 and will file for bankruptcy unless the stolen bitcoins are returned. Florida-based exchange says the attacker stole 13,000 bitcoins, worth $5 million today, and 300,000 litecoins. Cryptsy suspects that the most recent developer behind Lucky7Coin – LK7 – is the culprit behind the attacks. The exchange says it initially tried to cover the missing funds using its exchange profits. But in a blog post, Cryptsy appears to suggest that everyone would have been worse off, because its U.S. Secret Service contact was none other than Special Agent Shaun Bridges.”]
