Isn&#x27;t this the standard scam -- crypto-currency exchange gets cleaned out by an insider&#x2F;owner and then a there is a story of an disgruntled employee or other evil hacker.  Everyone is supposed to hate this made up hacker instead of suspecting the owners themselves.<p>Maybe it is just the news bias, but crypto-currency seems to attract shady characters. I understand the sentiment about the central banks and global cabal of money controlling plutocrats and all that, but then the same people turn around and hand money to a bunch of amateurs with a website and trust them instead.
