Great! Nice to see some honest folks.

Sensationalist nonsense. He never stole them, he detected the issue and swept them before any bad actors could so.

would have done the same ... although I would have negotiated a 5-10% "protection fee" :) (not necessarily with the owners but blockchain.info)

He got rewarded by blockchain.info. Apparently got a good gig too.

Good to hear ... That's how one can motivate white - and gray-hats :)

Definitely brings back the old idea of having a mouse move entropy collector (like krypto kit) on your web page to go along with the browsers secure random number.   A hacker would have to guess both numbers.
