I wonder if they will pull this off. If they do, will the BFX tokens actually gain in value? Will they finally become equal to the loss? How long could that take? This is going to be an interesting journey from a large hack. Hopefully it goes better than the way MtGox went. Liquidation doesn't seem like a very good path either.

What gimmick is this? They lost their customer's funds and now their planning on releasing their own tokens? For what? To make money out of those poor people who lost money in their site? That is some whole new level of scumbaggery right there. Just withdraw all your BTC from the site and demand that you get the whole amount.

If you had a 100 bitcoins on the site, and as a customer lost 36 on it, and were issued BFX tokes with a claimed value of 1$/BFX, then even you would try and see it to get as much value as possible and not return them and complain about being paid when they have outrightly said they won't be refunding coins. This mentality unfortunately just makes their case easier and allows them to scam their customers.

What? That is a scam. I think Bitfinex users should start to be getting concerned now. They should pool together whatever resources they have left and look for a good lawyer and fight this. If Bitfinex gets away with this they'll continue on playing with their customers by releasing more scam tokens or some other gimmick.

What are these tokens backed by?
