What a fucked up industry.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What's interesting about that and why would HN care if people are sharing private details of their life willingly?
It's that people should be a lot safer and aware. I've seen a guy brag about his cryptocurrency stash, and if you went through his post history he'd also talked about where he lived and his profession. If he leaked any other details (through HN or crossreferencing other sites), he might be a really vulnerable target and not even realize it.

It's the early days-- there are already "non-custodial" exchanges-- shapeshift and changelly.... and atomic swaps are just starting to be experimented with. When lightening network exchanges and atomic swaps and side chains are all perfected in 1-5 years much of the exchange risk will be gone.
Those are more like brokers rather than exchanges or "non-custodial" exchanges as you called them.

What industry isn't?
Yahoo CEO had fake credentials: http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/13/technology/yahoo-CEO-out/ind... He lied and accepted a salary. In my world, I define that as stealing.
Equifax CEO Richard Smith will collect 90M http://fortune.com/2017/09/26/equifax-ceo-richard-smith-net-... What a convenient time to retire.
Questionable morals of Uber CEO https://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-ceo/uber-ceo-travis-...
And numerous other examples. Bad people are everywhere. Cryptocurrency is a new realm that combines tech with the economy at a different level and currently, it is like a big experiment. It might be an expensive experiment but the learnings are for sure gonna change the face of the internet.
My choice for most interesting personal hack:

He had kept it offline for most of the past several years, but had connected that device in recent weeks to move them somewhere more secure and sell some. Though he had locked it with a 30-character password, the hackers moved the coins off
At the exchange level, a highly recommended summary of the Mt Gox debacle was discussed recently:
