It appears Bitfinex is following the path of Cryptsy closely, only that it is not making it so obvious.
OMG. It should not. Cryptsy case was itself very big disappointment even crypto users using it for altcoin trading rather than for BTC/fiat trading (still cryptsy had options to trade that with them). But, Bitfinex is famous for bitcoin trading with limited altcoins. So, it is directly bind with bitcoin's reputation and price levels. If it follows cryptsy that may trigger bigger disaster again.
But after recent exchange problems/hacks, I believe traders might have developed the habit of not keeping big amounts in exchange unless otherwise they have reasons to do so. If it is true, there will not be any significant effects if Bitfinex follows cryptsy.
