I think you could use an eye-opening experience like potentially losing a good chunk of your crypto to a swindler or an incompetent to truly see this MintPal fiasco for what it truly is.

You won't find many people more paranoid about security than me, but at the same time, I haven't seen any evidence of corruption, insolvency or any of the other stuff you're alluding to, so for that reason I'm not calling it. I have seen plenty of evidence of technical "greenness" and a bit of incompetence - not the same thing.
You, on the other hand do seem to be "calling it" so I think it's you that needs to trump up some evidence, not me. As I say, it may just be superficial teething troubles or it may be a fundamentally craply built site (like Cryptsy) which they won't solve - we don't know yet.
Where I can sympathise with folks who have funds "locked up" is that they didn't know the site was going down for good and re-emerging with a different version. It seems to me that thats the biggest cock-up in all of this because it looks like they didn't even send out a mailer which is pretty bad. If you knew what was happening and still left your funds on there, well - I'll say no more except this is crypto, you should know what to expect by now.
