Title: CFTC investigation into Bitfinex is really bizzare Post by: Bitcoinpro on June 04, 2016, 12:54:52 PM they have said Bifenex must hand over the private keys
it's is not possible that the case has a precedent and seems to imply if u where trading any commodity that u should receive the actual commodity in advance of trading it ??? What could have caused the CFTC to open a case like this except customers not being able to withdraw their profits it may just be a case of saving face for Bitfinex who could have suffered a liquidity shortage and took more than 28 days to deliver a Bitcoin withdrawal.

Title: Re: CFTC investigation into Bitfinex is really bizzare Post by: amacar2 on June 04, 2016, 03:28:32 PM Handing over private key for exchanger addresses, that will be so much mesh up for bitfinex. How they gonna do so? I think exchanger store all of their coin in their hot wallet rather than indivisual deposit address.

Title: Re: CFTC investigation into Bitfinex is really bizzare Post by: Blawpaw on June 04, 2016, 07:44:17 PM wow... another one bites the dust. This could mean the end of Bitfinex. It's time to withdraw all of my coins from there before its too late. My advice to you guys is to do the same
