Classical exit scam from bitfinex, learn to never leave your coins on an exchange, no matter how big and old they are, that's what I do, once I finish the trade I take away all my money and coins.
I don't understand why anyone would want to keep their coins somewhere that's potentially insecure when they can keep it with them.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

So now people are accusing them all of this time of being an elaborate Ponzi scheme that finally had enough money so to run away with and thus blaming the hack on the amount that it ran away with?
This is getting interesting now. Wink

Convenience, for one thing. I think they may be uninformed or ignorant of other methods. I think many people starting out in bitcoin wouldn't like to download the entire blockchain.

I don't feel like i own the money when i put my money in exchanges. That's because i don't. When the times comes and they rob you, there is almost nothing you can do other than waiting for long days and praying. I can get my pc hacked too, but that would be my own stupidity.

nope. you're swallowing their loss which is real nice of them. i'll bet not one satoshi of their own money is gonna be heading back to the users they failed. the theory is that you'll be paid back the remaining percentage as they generate more money.

Thread starter and all those who commented on this post did not update us if they still have an ongoing issue with Bitfinex,it's still online and still growing I think this thread is now useless as they cannot prove that it's a proven scam.
