It looks like they are in an urgent need of ready money, and locking accounts worthy of thousands of dollars seems to be one of the ways to provide the required liquidity to themselves. I think they will return you your money in the end, but it may take some time. It is strange though that you continued to hold the money at Bitfinex after the hack. The writing was in big red capital letters across the wall.
That might be the case. Horrible if it is. Hopefully they will return all my assets. But I somehow have a strange feeling they won't and they will keep sending more and more questions. We will see, hehe.
You are right. But prior to the hack, Bitfinex had never disappointed. Always worked 110% flawless. And that's for a few years of time which I find quite amazing. Fast response time, quick deposit & withdrawal, awesome features in the trading engine etc. After the hack I really thought they will never have any problems again. Since it will only hurt their credibility they are slowly building up again.
This was for sure a little wake-up-call for me
