"I believe they are actually trying to resolve them right now, it may just be PR.
Although I have seen some people actually receiving their coins back from bitfinex."
Is this true? Is BFX actually returning coins seized in "socialized loss?" Do you have a source?
Last I heard they refunded the coins, but had everyone take a 36% loss on it, and issued them BFX tokens. Was this a new update after it ?
Yes, and I heard they gave everyone an extra $500 in their withdrawal as a "thank you" for being so understanding about the long wait.
