Within about an hour or so before the shut down, I had just sent some BTC there too, and it did not show up in my bitfinex account balance, either.
Just one of the costs of doing business, gotta figure that in. You don't have your bitcoins unless you hold the private key.

*that stuff people were saying about not panicking unless we go below 590? I hope they meant 490...
1) Even though you seem to be an idiot troll, I will respond to a few of your points, which are still valid in spite of your apparent trolling attempts
2) Yes, cost of doing business in bitcoin, and probably many other ventures that are in their development stages, is that sometimes there are going to be some costs and even unexpected costs and even potentially some malicious behaviors.
3) You are exaggerating a bit when you are suggesting that people were saying $590 is the panic point, and normal correction is one thing, but if we get some fairly outrageous information (such as potential large scale losses on a major exchange), then we should expect the low point to go lower (and even build in additional acceptance that the price could go lower). The news of Bitfinex's status will certainly drive BTC prices in the short term, and yes, such status reports could result in additional decreases in the price (beyond whatever normal original (pre-news) predictions that were being made).
