It seems the exchange will reopen but customers stand to lose some of their BTC.
It would be better for Bitfinex to perish in flames and pay off every user who lost BTC because of their incompetency.
Than reopen and continue their pitiful service with reputation tarnished like that is risky. Would people actually gonna return and use their services?
But again, I guess it is still better than Mt. Gox style bankruptcy...
even if bitfinex returns as a "better" exchange, people will do everything to avoid it. no one serious will keep using an exchange runned by incompetent rookies. traders will move to bitstamp or kraken.
