Great, so everyones fake money is still good?
Instawallet has shut down for 90 days (or, "indefinitely" depending on the story) while it sorts out whose bitcoins got compromised and whose money is safe. LINK
So even if a customer's money is still there, their account is frozen for 90 days and their money is unavailable to them.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this was an inside job and some money will be returned to save face. And he'll get away with it since "Hey, it's all anonymous"
But you know what? If the president of my bank runs off with all of my money, I'll be made whole.
