interesting theory here tying in the still mysterious Polish bank seizure and bitfinex's latest moves such as reducing the capital requirement.
as ever bitfinex breeds conspiracy theories. but the capital requirement was pretty damn stupid.
That's probably one of the most factually incorrect conspiracy theories I've seen yet. CRYPTO SP. Z.O.O which Bitfinex used as a payment processor a while ago was the company that had the money seized not Bitfinex.
Even if they had still been a CRYPTO SP. Z.O.O customer, it was only a payment processor so no significant funds were ever held there, they just passed through.
ING holds the money. https://www.coindesk.com/dutch-bank-ing-confirms-bitfinex-account/
Also quite funny to think that a sum as small as $400mil would be a problem to an exchange with 25% market share and $1.4Bn volume in the last 24hrs.
