Apparently some hackers, hacked their UBank and deposited stolen funds from other BTC Exchanges. So the person I was buying bitcoins from probably didn't come through bcoz i spose he couldn't access his acc. BitPiggy's account was frozen after the first hacking, then they re-opened; but the auditors//feds/whoever found more stolen amounts, so they were closed down again. Then that was sorted out, only to find there were more deposited amounts of stolen btc/$! That's one reason I buy in small amounts - I heard it happens frequently to overseas BTC exchanges. Can't these banks truecrypt their clients accounts, or will that send a red flag to their own business's - what's the problem?

Do you have any sources?

Bitpiggy isn't permanently closed, the person who runs it is getting a new bank account, he said so on the forum post, and the people asking for a source should just really google bitpiggy and go to the website lol
