Is there somewhere a link to a Visa statement? The one referenced seems from the Coinbase blog. I couldn't find any information from Visa, besides the one public post they made saying they aren't at fault. Its quite the tragedy for some people apparently.

The article clearly states: "The following is a joint statement from Visa and Worldpay, which is Coinbase’s payment processor partner. While Coinbase initially distributed the statement on its own blog, we’ve also received the statement directly from Visa." In that statement: "This issue was not caused by Coinbase."

Will until a statement comes out from Visa it wasn't them. I'd expect a joined statement be published on visa and wordplay as well - not solely on Coinbase. It least coinbase should push for that, otherwise to me it's a pretty weak post.

A statement did come from Visa to the news agencies; they clearly don't feel the need to add anything. As I quoted, "we’ve also received the statement directly from Visa"

The techcrunch articles states that they have confirmed the statement with Visa. Please consider reading it?

Why can't they reference a source?

Probably cause Visa and Worldplay don't really want to issue the statement

If you were Visa would you really want to put out an obviously negative statement like this anymore than you have to?

They did reference a source. Visa.

If Visa weren’t at fault they would put out a statement about it and then probably sue. Why are there so many posts asking this same question? Feels concerted
