Re: Bitfinex. Will they cover the 65 million dollar BTC Theft or just fold?
I don't feel comfortable attempting to answer this poll because it is based on a premature assumption regarding the supposed exact amount that Bitfinex lost in this latest attack, and without even evidence of the remainder of their holdings.
i take your point..thus the no frigging idea choice was added it can apply to all the above....
(its not like i really know how to setup a correct poll don't ya know)
"They?" I have read a couple of reddit threads that have that theory, but did Bitfinex confirm or admit to the situation?
I am not trying to negate the potential validity of some investigations done by insightful technical folks, but we really need some kind of confirmation and/or rendition by Bitfinex - and maybe it is true that the Reddit folks are right on the money, but until then, I still consider the matter to be a bit speculative with some potential holes regarding the extent of money moved by whom and who controls the private keys and whether any of those moved coins are recoverable (or the private keys).

This isn't "folks on reddit". This is Zane Tackett https://www.reddit.com/user/zanetackett, Bitfinex's community relations guy. This is as straight from the horse's mouth as you'll get.
It is confirmed in the just released WSJ article as well.
Time to accept it.
[Where is the: They won't cover, and will fold, option? or is that just implied?]
hey i admit it is a crummy poll I made
but the 'thread' seems to be there is no way they can cover that much $$ and survive...but take this poll with a grain of salt..if I had a life I woud not have made it
