May I ask, what are some examples of the security mistakes?

They left people's wallets with "aliases" open to be cracked by anybody who found them for years, messed up their RNG and revealed some users private keys, a few XSS mishaps, and their support reset 2FA keys for hackers with social engineering.

a.k.a. they made mistakes and then remedied the problem quickly without much controversy. Sounds like the opposite of another trading firm that just collapsed.

These sound like mistakes that many beginner companies can easily make when trying to craft them. Why is there a demand for perfection out of the gate? And why are offers to remedy the situation not given the same kudos?

> Why is there a demand for perfection out of the gate?

Because it only takes one flaw for money to be permanently lost.

Like with airliners and nuclear reactors, there is no room for mistakes because you get no second chances.
