As someone holding only USD (unlended) I am pretty pissed off. But I'm not gonna complain to anyone and I prefer others do the same. We need to get what we can off Bitfinex now, should they give us the chance. A bankruptcy following seizures would leave us with nothing years down the road. I'm pissed but I'm also desperate to get back some of my cash -- and not through the courts.
Not complain? Are you joking!? I very much doubt that Bitfinex have the legal right to do what they are doing, and it would only be acceptable should the main stake holders who have profited from Bitfinex for years, both legitimately and through insider trading activities, put everything they have towards covering the losses. Ya think any of the big players behind Finex are taking a 36% haircut? Are they fuck!
Fuck those fucking absolute fucking crooks, I shall be seeking channels to litigate at the earliest opportunity.....most likely via a class action lawsuit.......I am sure that a community of Finex victims will arise soon enough.
This needs a proper criminal investigation, and there is no doubt in my mind, that the main suspects will be found within Bitfinex itself. Who set up the security in such a way that it was even possible to drain $72 Million worth of BTC within a single hour or so, when average daily transaction across all assets was around $1 Million? Are these people fucking stupid, or was the system setup to facilitate theft? I suspect the latter.
I hear you. I'm angry. But I'm also a realist. The best thing to do would be to withdraw anything you can -- should Bitfinex give you the chance -- and then go after them legally in a class action or something.
But at this moment, I'm not trying to rock the boat. Just sitting on my hands.
