Unless i am very wrong here but i think bitfinex is back in business and they are doing well right now.
That's s much worrying as it is surprising, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. I just hope that they aren't creating fake volume. I guess time will tell - but I certainly wont be putting any of my hard earned BTC their way.

Most Chinese exchanges are creating fake volumes as they have 0% trading fee. The Bitfinex might be an exception.

Considering they're doing so much random stuff id strongly advise avoiding them for a while. The volumes they suggest seem to be fake as they are ridiculously high volumes just after the attack. They will have lost many loyal customers with the stupid BFX token idea and the initial failures in security.

Did they ever announce how they were hacked? They paid some experts to find out but the experts said they couldn't work out how the hackers did it. How can their loyal customers trust them if they can't work out what failures in security the hackers used?
