    I love Coinbase's stance on this. Everybody (customers) are whole. Somebody knows a few of these bad actors. Imagine the temptation to be offered 20 Million to turn in the bad actors even if they are family or friends. I don't know if I could trust my very best friend with my well being if they could get 20 Million for turning me in for a crime. I doubt it will be too long before the domino trail falls.
