this is as much XRB/NANO's fault as bitgrail's. They chose to list their coin on a TTT exchange. Ppl who bought there couldn't transfer it out because of their unstable wallet. LOL if they think they're going to escape this mess. I smell a class action lawsuit for contributory negligence.

BitGrail accounts have always identified as NANO-affiliated. If NANO core team can identify the double spend, or the unauthorized spends to the NANO sponsored BitGrail (hacker) account, then utilizing the BURN account to provide restitution to BitGrail users is reasonable, fair, and could mean the survival of NANO vs. class-action lawsuit.
Nano is capable of fixing this by burning the stolen coins and creating new ones. But I think the Bitgrail owner actually stole the coins. If you read over the email exchange, it sounds like the coins have gradually been getting sent over to Mercatox and sold. Bitgrail's owner is trying to play dumb but he knew what was up. At best, he wasn't transparent. At worst, he stole the coins.
Not really sure how Nano escapes this unscathed, though. Those stolen coins represent 10% of its total coin supply. They told people to buy their coins on bitgrail and prevented people from moving them off by not having a working wallet.
you think the Nano devs are in on this scam? Regardless, I think the bitgrail debacle will tinge Nano's reputation and stunt its growth. Many coins that, once they get a bad rep deservedly or undeservedly, never fully recover. Like, I'd never touch Tron or XVG after all their shadiness.
