Welcome to the future! This is how you 'rob a bank' in the digital age ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Jeez that is a lot of money. I simply do not hang around with the right kind of geeks in my circle....should start hanging out with the evil hacker types that is a lot of moola if they get away with it (likely imho) ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Can you imagine some 16 year old kid doing this hack and he is sitting around going wtf do I do now...as his dad is yelling at him to take out the trash. lol ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

I wonder what these people do with all this stolen money...
They live in huge houses near the beach for the rest of their lives and drink fine wine and get hot girlfriends. What else? re-invest them to steal even more, like for example creating another scam exchange like bitfinex in 3 months and declare a security hole 1 year later...

I thought Bitfinex has got the bitlicense to operate in the US. So it is legal? Why do you say it is not legal?

Update, the funds stolen are 119,756 btc. that means aprox 60 millions USD Do you think that Bitfinex will cover this amount and it will business as usual? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Link me with the address please I need to track it where it ended up.

I suspect Bitfinex was using Fractional Reserve banking and just ran out of money.
If your using an online wallet you don't own any bitcoins. All you own is a IOU from an uninsured an unregulated service provider who is controlled by people legally obligated under the law "under threat of criminal prosecution" to protect the shareholders investments over the users money, your money.

Is the $60mm from Bitfinex being used to pump ETC?

We would see if the coins see any action. So far I would think its just people who have realized about the hack and are moving to other coins to not let their investments go down. Just like people do with the dollar and gold.

Welcome to the future! This is how you 'rob a bank' in the digital age ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) with bitcoin a "bank" means you not your exchange site! to to rub a bank means to rub you and your wallet with a keylogger or other ways to steal the private keys from individuals. bitfinex was just a service run by people who didn't know how to secure 119,000 BTC. i hope they recover from this though, it is a shame to see another gox happening.

The chinesse exchangers are putting the bots(fake transactions) at work very hard. they own miners, they exchange for miners and a low price means the end of them ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) so, the price won't go down too fast because it's artificially sustained by them.

Must be exactly cause of that hacking the price for bitcoin jumped down. 60 ml dollars! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) that is just unbelievable! How many people lost their money!? I think it shows us that no one exchanger is save enough. I'm holding my bitcoins on Yobit and now I am worry about "what if..?" When the price for bitcoin will be higher I plan to withdraw it on my card.

I read more than 80m$ worth of coins stolen. So little of them dumped till now. When this is over we may see below 300$ if that's true.
This will end so badly. Everything that people worked for till now will be dirt. Families will be ruined. So sad.
This is the most important reason not to leave your coins on a exchange, you may end up broke! Also the saddest part is that people haven't learn yet which exchanges have licence and which dont! Any exchange can go down any time for any reason but they will investigated more by authoritys, so less likely to have any type of drama (aka missing coins, hack, bug, shit you name it!

CoinBreader, you are right. I said about financial licenses a lot. But many people are brainwashed and they don't care about that. I warned about Bitfinex practices on this forum, about their unexisting financial license(insurance), about price manipulation and so so. Result : almost nobody cares and many people lost MILLIONS. Yes, millions of USD not thousands of usd or hundred thousands of USD. I know individuals who lost "cash" worth of millions; years of tradings, no sleep, no life...just trading and now, they lost everything. The next will be BTC-e; same prototype. shady exchanger, no license, no insurance...nothing.

That is not very smart of you mr legendary member is it. Lets do some basic numbers, before the hack there was 9k buy support and now after the hack there is around 7k buy support. That is less lol The volume is the same and the price is lower, not something that 120k bitcoin pumps is it.
