~50 million NXT has been stolen from BTER.
The money was transferred from NXT-LSC3-VB9T-2W3V-BH7FB to NXT-8WJ7-8A2H-MBYN-3W9K4.
BTER asked Nxt community to help.

The only legit way to do it (without abusing power of developers) is to ask forgers to decide what to do:

Keep forging the current branch with 50M belonging to the thief

OR

Remove the blocks after the theft and forge another branch where 50M will belong to BTER

U still have time to roll the changes back, after 720 blocks on top it will be too late. U should try to reach Jean-Luc to get NRS version that allows to manually delete recent blocks.

That's not quite what I said. I said that every pure PoS system, except a PoS system with trusted chain download sources, can always and forever be taken over by a 51% collusion of the genesis block allocation. If you're willing to accept that, then TaPoS-based systems plus slasher plus some kind of yet-undiscovered transaction aggregation protocol seem to be quite viable, albeit flimsier in certain ways.
