Did you say "no, no, surely they're not that stupid" after reading that highlighted part?
No, I assume they actually are not that stupid. While the old adage says otherwise, just like all the âoh sorry we got hacked, your moneyz iz goneâ this is more likely malice than incompetence.

Has there ever been one of these cases where it really was incompetence and not someone on the inside stealing all the moneyz?

@DCoder Because paying taxes is about as evil as racial discrimination.

I'm pretty sure that there are plenty of people out there who think that this is an absurd comparison. Because being forced to pay taxes is more evil.

It's tax filing season. Be prepared to see lots of pissed off US citizens. (Lets cut taxes so you have more in your paycheck! <end of year> Ok, just kidding, give it all back and you owe us penalties because you didn't pay enough during the year)

This one is not directly about money, but it's got blockchains and other buzzwords, and I feel dumber for reading it, so it belongs here.
Hu-manity.co has developed proprietary technology that identifies existing legal corridors in privacy regulations and has designed new intelligent contracts on blockchains which humans can use to negotiate new terms of consent and authorization with corporations so that inherent human data can be respected as legal property. Hu-manity.coâs global inherent Human Data Consent and Authorization Blockchain (HD-CAB) is built on a âchain of chainsâ strategy combining Ethereum and other fabrics.

Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpeles Gets Suspended Jail Term
Mark Karpeles, a central figure in the early days of Bitcoin who presided over the dramatic 2014 collapse of the worldâs biggest cryptocurrency exchange, was found guilty of tampering with financial records but will likely avoid jail time after receiving a suspended sentence.
The former Mt. Gox chief executive officer sometimes mixed his personal finances with those of the exchange and fiddled with its accounts, apparently to hide the fact that the platform had lost money to hackers, the Tokyo District Court said on Friday. The court cleared Karpeles of embezzlement charges, concluding that the 33-year-old Frenchman had acted without ill intent.
Karpeles, who wore a dark suit in court and bowed to the judge before his sentence was handed down, wasnât on trial for the mysterious disappearance of Bitcoins that led to Mt. Goxâs implosion. He was given a 2 ½ year suspended sentence, which he wonât have to serve unless he commits another violation within four years.
Mt. Gox, which started as a marketplace for illustrated trading cards used to play the game âMagic: The Gathering,â filed for bankruptcy protection in 2014 after disclosing that it lost 850,000 Bitcoins, then worth about $500 million. Karpeles later recovered about a fourth of the total, raising questions about the circumstances of the loss and the accuracy of his statements. The court found that Karpeles tampered with records in part to mask the loss.

@Lorne-Kates Stable coins are great. You (the issuer) get borrowed money without interest, and for every time someone lose his keys it's money you won't ever need to pay back, so you even take some profit. It's like a negative interest rate.
