I just found about the 65 millions stolen recently from Bitfinex ... Apparently all clients of the exchange lost 36 % .... in a move from Bitfinex to distribute the loss among its clients/users.

Later some "equity" was offered to the victims which I am interested to know how has worked out ? How much of the 36 % damage was covered by this ?

Apparently the coins were stolen in some sort of hacking attack tricking the exchange into releasing multiple withdraws ... 

So now the question is how is Bitfinex surviving this without almost fully reimbursing their clients ... Maybe some share of future profits ?

I am thinking they may be surviving it due to lack of recent articles about this on Google...

I mean I wasn't able to find any recent reportings on this, but I'd imagine if any existing users, like me, just found out about this ... they'd be leaving the exchange.

I guess it could be argued that this could have happened to another exchange and Bitfinex should be let to put this behind...

Or perhaps the peer to peer exchange networks are where clever users should be heading to...
