On reddit they say they have an upcoming announcement they will be making addressing how they will deal with compensating users. They apologise for missing deadline after deadline, and say they are doing a "final review" before making it. I bet they will make another apology tomorrow and say they are doing yet another "final review".
Well, it's possibly the most important decision they'll ever make so it makes sense to ponder it properly. At the same time they must be aware there are a lot of anxious people out there and should be taking that into account.
If I were them I'd probably chuck my computer in the sea and go on holiday but luckily I'm not.
When Bitstamp was hacked there was delay after delay and broken deadline after broken deadline before it made an announcement. After that there were more delays before the website went back online. I bet Bitfinex is no different, but it's doing a better job than Cryptsy. At least the CEO hasn't gone on the run yet (as far as I know).
