Beginning 18th April, all incoming wires to Bitfinex will be blocked and refused by their Taiwan banks. This applies to all fiat currencies at the present time.
That means Bitfinex doesn't have bank accounts anymore. It seams their accounts are closed.
What's next? Take your money/funds out from Bitfinex as soon as possible.

Didn't bitfinex screw up last august and made the price crash badly? Then they came up with those ridiculous BFX tokens, and now this? Those guys should have closed business. I can't believe why people still trust their money with those guys.
yes they were hacked, they came back and started working and issued these tokens and finally in April 3, 2017 they started paying their customers back https://www.bitfinex.com/posts/198 i don't have an account nor checked out the news to be able to verify how much they paid back but it was started.
and this may be a naive thinking but it seems to me like the problem comes from their banks not themselves. i hope i am not wrong.

- No U.S. banks are holding any customer funds.
- Funds are not frozen. Some payment channels are closed to us while new channels are being opened.
- Bitfinex is not insolvent. In fact, completing the BFX Token redemption process on April 3rd has paved the way for us to retain a major accounting firm to audit our balance sheet. We are in active discussions with several candidates and expect an announcement on this by the end of this month.
- To the best of our knowledge and belief, neither Bitfinex nor any of its principals are being investigated for any crime of any sort, anywhere.
- To the best of our knowledge and belief, no entity in the Bitfinex group is being singled out by correspondent banks. We understand that Bitfinex is a victim of correspondent bank de-risking, targeting money service businesses (MSBs) in general and “virtual currency” exchanges in particular.
