I have read that this all might be set up by an american bank in order to make bitfinex comply to some money laundering rules.
That would mean bitfinex has no money problem, at least non that they created themselves.
Let's see how long this will take, because at some point they will need fresh money.

This is not a good news to the bitcoin community because bitfinex is one of the most reputable bitcoin exchange, bank problem with this type of company can ruin the business entirely because it might affect the withdrawal process also, just as they suggested it is better to stay away until they resolved with them or they change their financial institutions.
Bitfinex is stating that taiwanese banks are blocking all incoming fiat deposits to bitfinex and are advising people not to deposit fiat for the time being.
Any thoughts on that?
