The idea of returning stolen funds is in fact circulating elsewhere, Tackett being told by a core developer, now thats fucked up!

Thats a welcome development if its true. Or shall I say just a message to appease the public? Hoping that its true to their word as many investor are worrying,some invested hundreds or thousands of dollar from their hard earned money.

Wow! I am surprised at the sharp recovery. It was $520 about five hours ago, I guess people have recovered quickly from the shock of bifinex getting hacked.

BTC price is recovering nicely, back over 570. I was expecting it to take a few weeks to recover.

This makes me happy. The truth is I've always been optimistic about the outcome Bitcoin rating in August. This month shall return the old price. We wait.

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...

Then it is clear from such problems with bitcoin. That's only if a market has failed, why not keep the other course?

well if people do daily trading they dont bother withdrawing and they just hold their coins on an exchange, i think there is nothing wrong about holding bitcoins on an exchange

what would you do if you would have let's say 100k USD or 500K USD with them?

I would ask myself why I was so stupid to have that kind of money in online wallet.

i dont think that anyone would be keeping that much money on an exchange that would be just dumb, i hope there wont be any of such hacks in the future

believe me, there MANY who are trading millions. one of them is a above, leen93. he kept aprox 1 mil USD with Bitfinex

now, these individuals lost their funds

With such losses is very difficult to cope. I wonder what will happen next. As Bitfinex will pay or return loss of these people.

Wait... Bitfinex chose 2 of 3 over a cold wallet? Wtf were they thinking?

Bitfinex, like every other exchange, has a chance of being compromised. And Bitfinex was one of the big three Exchanges, so it wouldve been a target for Hackers.

Don't leave your money in Exchanges, kids.

according to the charts, these are the big three: Grin

OKCoin (80% from BTC trades)
BTCC
Huobi

Here you go

Bitgo wallet or should I say one wallet multiple users.

Responding to needs of Bitcoin businesses, BitGo created the first multi-user 2-of-3 multi-signature wallet. Adding multi-user capabilities allowed Bitcoin businesses to have what we’ve had in the banking world for years: joint accounts, multi-level transaction approvals, auditor account access, and more.

It seems Bitfinex was conned into buying false security from BitGo but they should have known better than moving from a cold storage setup. Roll Eyes

what do you expect from boys like him? Wink

+- 5 btc (deposited few hours before the 'breach') + 620.000$ + few months interests with them (guess around $645000), 5.600.000ZAR was still on the way (wire)

from my understanding those 5 btc are gone and usd i should be able to withdraw soon?

Does anyone have the phone number of Jean-Louis (in case it recently changed)? I still called him a month ago and visited him last february, but can't get a hand on him now. Doesn't pick up his phone (unusual) and hasn't replied my e-mail I sent 5 hrs ago yet. Do i have to worry about my usd funds? As soon as I get to talk to Jean-Louis I will book a flight to HK I guess. First want to know all the inside information available.

YES, you should be worried. book a ticket and fly to Bitfinex's office, if you know their address. it's not a joke or something like that but...Bitfinex will not give you the money back if you will not push them HARD. Do not go alone. take a few strong guys with you...

Man, you have around of 1 mil USD with Bitfinex (hard or easy money, it doesn't matter). Book a ticket now and get your money back from them. It's about USD not BTC and they must have them in their bank accounts.

Before you book a flight and go on Bitfinex's office I would suggest you to find someone there locally and check if they are still on that address because until now they would move or not, this situation is very stressful.

People lost their money with exchange site collapsing not first time, and by now many should be aware of risk when they hold their founds in their wallet.

I'm new here, but I already learned, as I saw this is not first time and its not highest lost. With Mc.Gox people lost much more, and still falling on same mistakes.

After this I think I will not even try to trade, like many members suggests here on forum. Its not worth to try to earn somewhere and they just to say they are bankrupt.
