Topic: Bitfinex HACKED - funds stolen ! - page 6. (Read 32160 times)

The first hack wasn't a big hit really, i'm sure they in this kind of business they would expect to be hit for smaller amounts.  One thing is for sure we know they cant afford (literally) to get hacked again so it might make them a very safe option currently.  Things are usually safer post when something unsafe has happened.

Yeah right if this is the second time that bitfinex was hacked better to leave and dont deal again in that site so that you can not lose again. if they are hack again. never trust that exchange site because they can repeat what they have done before..

It is not the first hack of bitfinex, but it is the second time, and after that I think n one will believe o bitfinex and everyone is going to leave that exchange, I also now do not want to go there.

I don't know if it is really hacked and they didn't know who are the hackers or they just made it up because it's an inside job and they stole the user's BTC. The users bear the loss and its CEO is nowhere to be found as what I have read in one of the news. The trust of the people in exchanges will not be the same again as it happened also before and the fact that the withdrawals increase upon the open of the exchange again will support it.People should be careful as to where they should put their money/bitcoin and always to spread their funds in several wallets or exchanges to manage risk.

as we can see, Bitfinex didn't come with any report about the so called investigation(because there is NONE).

 they just want to lay the dust on this theft.

I've certainly done that since the Bitfinex escapade, I've also made sure that I have very strong and unique passwords for all sites that I use, I use LastPass to store all of the credentials which uses very strong encryption and 2FA.

Yeah, we can see that there are no totally safe places for cryptocurrencies on the internet these days. It is always good to have some of the funds in an offline wallet.

your advises are good but there are SO many sheep around. many of their clients continue to use those who robbed them while the Bitfinex owners are living  in luxury with their money.

lol charging everyone 35% when they know if 90% of their BTC was offline in cold storage and multisignature w recorallet BTC transactions they would have never gotten stolen from.
Electrum wallet has multi signature transactions and its easy to set up they also dontd your IP address.

lol nice boat

http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/multisig.html

easy to set up multsignature.

no server logs, no ip addresses recorded.

If you used a wallet like this one, youi cant trace the transactions and you could store your bitcoins offline cold storage
so then you dont need to worry about the exchange.

At my exchange i saw 7 bitcoin dissappear before my eyes, i took a screenshot downloaded the the CSV orders book, told support and they think theres nothing wrong. I found in the log's where the the coins where sold but no BTC updated. I got shits then and just took all the 12 BTC and just flushed it down betcoin wondering why the jackpots dont hit after i must played through 50 BTC of wagering. i had left IExchanges are crap, they steal all your money anyway they can and when you report software bugs they dont care. I lost 15 BTC on bittfinex and 50 BTC on cryptsy when they shut down thinking they wouldnt close down they'll be ok, my coins are safe there.

 Wrong Don't be naive, and think your coins are safe on any exchange. Get a proper wallet, built for anonymous bitcoin transfers. If you run this with say a good VPN like https://torguard.net/aff.php?aff=2163 they are heaps easy to use only $5 a month for one click VPN access. Its a good one.No need to configure Tor expert edition and privoxy anymore.
I just saved your life now with high-tech info, You can send BTC:15CkdWj2e8JsMQb4hbG1pLq4xRcQfE7YcW
thanking me for my info.

let's call it THEFT not hack... Bitfinex didn't provide any information, they didn't announce any law enforcement. we are talking about 70 MIL USD and not about peanuts .


         Raphael NICOLLE - Bitfinex owner

actually people there lose about 36% of deposit because their balance will be cut off by bitfinex themselves due too much losing,and it's terrible because the one who makes the mistake is bitfinex and not anyone else,the hacker just use the bug on their security

BTX going up slowly!

am telling you, people lost there money.....and lots of bitcoin  were involve..

That sure is what it looks like. Wouldn't it be funny if all these exchanges like Bitinstant, Bitfinex, Counbase, bla bla were honey pots for the CIA. lol

We'll find out about it in 20 years under the freedom of information act.

The fact that the U.S allows a currency to compete with the USD on it's own soil should be enough to know that BTC has a green light from someone upstairs.

Fined for chump change, that's what I mean, they're doing nothing. If I was a conspiracy lover I would agree with the people that claim that Nakamoto is some kind of an acronym for the NSA and Homeland Security. There must be a reason they're slapping these people on the wrist while they throw the book at others. Another example is Charlie Schrem. With the average sentence for money laundering set at 10 years with 3 years of supervised release why did Schrem only get 2 years when he was involved with a drug kingpin that got life in prison?

CFTC  fined them 2 months ago.
Bitfinex issued fraudulent securities(tokens) so, SEC is very interested about that.

To be fair, the SEC is exactly who is relevant here when Bitfinex is issuing tradeable debt tokens. Really not sure on the legalities of all that, but seems pretty sketchy, on top of the whole stealing from their customers thing.

The CFTC also fined Bitfinex (late last year I think?)...it was for chump change, but means they were/are watching them.


I think it really depends on whether US customers file complaints with relevant authorities. If it doesn't affect US residents, they don't care.

That's an interesting comparison but Bitfinex and other Bitcoin companies servicing US customers don't seem to be paying the price for their wrongdoings. The only branch of the US gov that has ever gone after any Bitcoiner is the SEC. The SEC isn't really even punishing the offenders. Look at Trendon Shavers (pirate@40) stole millions running a Ponzi scheme denominated in bitcoins and received 18 months sentence and $1mil fine. That's a slap on the wrist. Erik Voorhees fleeced 2600 btc out of FeedZeBirds customers, ran an illegal gambling site servicing US customers (SatoshiDice) stealing millions, ran an illegal security based on SatoshiDice and got no prison time and only a $50k fine. That's the sweetheart deal of the century.

Why is the US essentially ignoring Bitcoin criminals?

Who is the idiot to throw at least 30 MIL USD on Bitfinex?  You can open a BIG exchanger with few millions .

Bitfinex may find a retard who is sitting on a lot of money...you cannot ever know with all the VC hipsters around.
