Can you define "well respected" in a bit more detail? It seems that by definition, everybody in the cryptocurrency space is still fairly new at this, reputations can be built quickly, and identities are less transparent than elsewhere.
There is a lot of shady business going on in traditional banking, but I can be reasonably sure that e.g. Deutsche Bank is not just one guy keeping all assets on his personal laptop who may or may not have died in India last week.
As for "outsourced", I thought that was supposed to be BAD? "Not your keys, not your coins", wasn't it? "Insured" by whom?
