I mean local police. Not all customers lives in States.

The FBI will certainly be interested and they do have an awful lot of US customers. It was US regulators who fined them even though they're (likely to be) nowhere near the US. My local police are better equipped for chasing escaped sheep than online criminals.

still nothing official?? I have around 100btc stuck there!

Call the police.

You'll probably have more fun contacting this lot - https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

A friend of mine was interviewed by the FBI, even though he was in the UK. I was dead jealous.

Bitfinex HACKED so btc down so quickly.I lost at least 4k because btc price down Sad

Damn

that is alot to lose in such a short time.
Should try and put some in another exchange like genesis and try and make that bitcoin back. Atleast you know that the Winklevoss brother won't steal your coins from you. Wink

If you hadn't any bitcoin deposited on Bifinex directly they you don't lose anything. If you imply that your coins, you are holding in your wallet are now worth less money, then yes, that is true.
But you can't call it a loss, fluctuation like that - caused by market shifts, random events, investment bubbles are meant to happen. Bitcoin will recover. Think about this situation as a good moment to buy BTC instead.

You lose? If you bought that coins from some time ago then you didnt lose anything. You are still a winner here. Let us just wait for bitcoin price to rise again and I agree with him that it is a good time to add up some more.

Maybe a way to hold FIAT tokens in a payment channel once we have lightning network that in case something happens automatically returns funds to investors? We need to think fast to come up with ways to decentralize exchanges soon.

Well, I guess so many great hackers out there. without a superior defense system, I think would be very easy for stolen by hackers, besides the hacker certainly have extraordinary abilities. Well now I know the reason paternal bitcoin prices down very quickly. I hope something like this will not happen again

being a retard generation (Millennials) who doesn't understand basic business, compliance, insurance and profit models, I expect Bitfinex to go away with that

until now, the police from Hong Hong, Interpol should have knocked at Bitfinex door IF some REAL complaints would have been made. as you can see, nobody is doing nothing then it's alright with that.

we are talking about 70 mil USD loss not 700K ....

Butbutbut, Bitcoin is on the internet so it's, like, special. Laws are soooo last century. Let the free market decide. And so on...

So if everyone is gonna take a 'hit' on this loss. Does anyone have an article or source on what % an individual will likely lose on this?
10% 20%

I mean it could not be any more then that or how would they expect to recover as an exchange (maybe that boat has sailed and this is so they don't go to jail or something)

others here with better minds then my own

Surely it all depends on what proportion of the coins are lost? That seems to be a figure that's hard to come by. I've read somewhere they had nearly 200,000 BTC in which case would you sit there moving your cock around when 60% of your holdings are flying out the door?

If that figure's correct then that gives an idea of the potential haircut. I think Bitfinex is expecting to carry on smoothly as they have done before but they may receive an unpleasant surprise when it's revealed to them that their customers are humans and real laws apply to them. I don't think many operators in the crypto space believe this yet.

and you won't. I am sure there is nobody in HK now. they are in Europe thinking how to spend your and other clients money.
leen93, you have around of 1 mil USD with them. it's not 100k or 200k...it's 1 MILLION USD.

go to police and report it. you are losing valuable time.

My heart goes to those who lost their coins.I have a strong feeling that there's an insider's hand in all this.They created bitfinex with the intention to run away with coins.

I also there is very high possibility about this inside job, because this amount is so big approx $60M, but nobody knows about the fact and articles about this hack telling very funny story which making so many laugh, I think very soon we will see some other exchanges will get involved into this fishy job.

This illegal exchanger (https://www.bitfinex.com/) is hacked. 120K BTC was stolen(aprox 60 mil USD) !

http://www.coindesk.com/bitfinex-shuts-down-customer-bitcoin-stolen/

It's so funny when they write "The theft is being reported to — and we are co-operating with — law enforcement." What law enforcement when YOU are running an illegal forex company(without licenses) ?!?! Grin

They are liars and morons and full of vanity(they know everything, they are beyond any problem, they are GODS)...This vanity brought down almost all the exchangers.

Will there be a haircut for users that didnt short or long but simply stored money? Any updates, ETAs on the future route? When will I get my money back?

What do you mean by when will you get my money back? Your money has always been with you. I believe you mean to ask when will the total value of your bitcoins to be restored to equivalent of values before the incident of bitfinex hacking.
As per all the expectation, we are probably on track to get the value back up toward $600 line.
