Dreamhost billing issue

With the recent billing errors and the ftp password leak a while back do you think Dreamhost will be around much longer? If they do stick around what do you think they will need to do to retain the current customers after this fiasco?

Omgosh I didn't know this. Talk about scary. They should shut themselves down and walk around in shame. Man I'd be soooooooooooooooooooooooooo mad if that happened to me.
