    Welcome to Lobste.rs! We discourage linking to news stories because we don’t aspire to be a link aggregator for news. It’s often lacking in depth and is more like candy than a meal. Lots of other places do news stories and we don’t want to replicate that here.

    If there’s a good technical or software development angle to this story, then feel free to submit that. As it stands, this is off-topic and is the kind of thing that gets shared in the chat channel.

    But please, don’t let this be a discouragement if you think you have other things to contribute.

      I’m really shocked by how an exchange that manage that amount of money can be so dumb to leave access keys to a single person even if he is the CEO. Maybe, now that we are moving forward to a digital era, this kind of things should be regulated by law.

        I suspect the CEO never trusted any employee to hold the keys - after all, having the keys means you can walk off with $190m. Anyone can be tempted…
