It's pretty amazing that a company in the financial sector that holds a lot of people's money doesn't have the ability to, say, cut to a backup system.

Considering all of their past fumbles (like thinking FDIC covered brokerage accounts and the multitudes of technically issues) I wonder if their user-base will finally start migrating elsewhere. It's clear they're don't have the talent to handle this.
