Despite all of this scary news I am still excited for something.

Where are the damn MEMES?  Grin
Make it a good one for this special event.

Haha they're coming soon.

You know what's weird? The only communication bitfinex is having with the outer world right now is through a community manager's Reddit account. Has what this user been saying confirmed? https://www.reddit.com/user/zanetackett

This is the only place I've seen it so far. I'm assuming within the next few days (hopefully) there should be more information.
I wonder what these people do with all this stolen money...

what would you do with 60 millions USD? Smiley  You would open a real business(if you really want to feel the pulse of society) in your country, you will buy a house, 2 houses...10...so that you can rent them, cars, woman  , anything you wish.

you would live a life without any problem.

A normal person would do that, I just have a hard time believing these sleaze hang up their black hats and start living like "normal" rich people. I suspect they're already thinking about their next heist to gain a billion dollars.

It's probably someone with a vendetta against BTC, Bitfinex, or both. (Or a cover story for some scammy stuff going on at Bitfinex.) The hacker may not enrich Himself/herself at all. They might just stick it in a few addresses and never spend them.

That is what I am thinking also and this is not new to us. Gain the trust of people then pull back and run. This thing will happen in every wallet site if they see that there will be paradise after the robbery.
Well, I'll be damned. This is the first time in a while that huge amount has been stolen from an exchange, or was it really stolen? We can't blame people for suspecting and coming up with conspiracy theories with all these exchanges being "hacked" every now and then.

It's just yet another reason why you should never keep any amount of BTC on any exchange ever.
