What really pisses me off is how it got handled by NiceHash:

Alex Zvyozdny: Many of you already know that the site reddit spread information about the alleged hacking of our service. We hasten to assure everyone that your bitcoins are safe and sound. And we are the largest pool in the CIS countries are not going to close, but rather increase our presence in the regions. In connection with the increased number of those wishing to mine the crypto currency at our sites, as well as rent or lease capacities for mining, we conduct PLANNED technical works, which are to be completed on Friday morning. From December 8, the service will work in the standard mode. Since this is the most massive update in the last two years, we have indeed suspended all Bitcoin payments, and the funds were taken to a safe place. After the works - everything will be returned to their places. Please do not panic! Sincerely yours, NiceHash.

Can you source that quote? I only see instances of that in various comments on reddit/facebook posts, none from any official NiceHash account.

Gonna call fake news on that quote until proven otherwise. Lots of trolls/disinfo out there about this. e.g. https://www.facebook.com/NiceHashSupport

That said, these guys probably exit scammed.

It's not fake, it was posted on FB, and then deleted when the truth finally came out.

Or just someone who isn't a native speaker?
