The reddit thread on the subject isn't much better, get a load of this gem.
Hacker News (discussion forum for Y-Combinator which funded CoinLab) is zealously deleting any threads started to discuss this topic. They regularly surpress discussion of topics that might make them, or the companies they've funded, look bad. So, I think it's probably legit. The $75 million, on the other hand (if that's what you meant) is of course fine-cut bullshit.
Quoth a redditor who doesn't know that all gawker links are rightly and properly killed on sight.
