Bitfinex asks users to help in Recovery by sharing the loss.

[calme]

Well, I had fiat on Bitfinex. I checked my emails and I don't see them asking me anything at all.

[Amph]

maybe only for those with a big amount? they are going to negotiate this as much as possible to avoid bankrupt

[huntalan81]

Bitfinex closes (because of the bankrupt).

Every money lost.

So I think it is a scam.


Edit:
Not every money, only 64%, 36% saved (~4.6m of dollars).

there is more money in it for them to scrape and negotiate as much as they can, and recoup via their commission....they would project to be making a lot more in the long term than this $65m loss if they were to continue operating in the future....
i think an investor will buy a chunk of shares to partially pay everyone off, and eventually pay off most/everyone who lost out if they are really interested in keeping it going

Maybe.

But a big company as the Bitfinex does not make it:

A lot of posts lately popping up for the next scam of bitcoin exchanges which is pretty much an inside job. They just want to keep users quite with that 36% refund. Of course taking for them more than 30 mln USD in bitcoin should be more than enough in enjoying a luxurious life if these scammers are chinese douchebags. Of course they have never seen more than 300 USD as monthly payment in that country. Don't keep bitcoins in exchanges end of story.

yes, keep your btc to wallet. i hope poloniex does well, and won't be hacked in the future, they had one hack before, hope it will be safe forever.

giving them a time is fine but if it's about the money, i guess the one who make the mistake here is the company and not the client,so,if they're asking about the money or cutting client's fund until 36%,doesn't make sense at all

It will be interesting to see, if this recovery plan will work out. After all, it is an offer. Given the circumstances I would also say it is a pretty good offer. At least it is much better than having another Mt.Gox-style bankruptcy.

If I was a Bitfinex user I would feel great relief that not all funds are lost. On the other hand, questions remains regarding the circumstances of the hack. An inside job is a possibility, of course. Since a professional investigation seems to be ongoing, I'm pretty sure that we will ultimately find out the truth, or at least 80% of it. But I guess this will take some time. Anyway, 64% is clearly better than nothing, so the hack/scam landscape of Bitcoin seems to be somewhat changing in favor of the victims...

ya.ya.yo!

I thought it would never recover, even though they have the funds to not go bankrupt. but the belief some people have already lost. so sooner or later bitfinex will soon be bankrupt.

Exactly what I wanted to say 

[~Bitcoin~]

Almost 40% funds still remain in them that is good point however it will be interesting to see how they will plan for BFX tokens they have distributed right now. They are trying to still exist after lossing majority of customers funds they hold don't know how they can manage to increase trust of traders to their system again.

Hahahaha, what a good joke!

Steal tens of thousands of $s from me, and then ask me to pay you for it! What?! The owners stole the money, and now they're requesting even more from us. Illegal activity doing more illegal stuff after a crime!

Tell me how are the same systems being used on the exchange websites and just one of them got hacked. If the hackers would have really existed, all exchange websites would've gone down.

they are bankrupt now because of what happen last week and ofcourse they're trying to negotiate those who invested big amount everyone's money lose so if they will continue to run the website they probably get some problem where they need a sponsor to keep the site running and to pay those who lose their money . i think this is a inside job
