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. Smiley

Well I presume they will need to find another banking provider and that means a liquidity exchange crisis.
Sigh with the many exchanges that we have now issues with one or another minimize the impact but its still a growing pain.
Where it really bites is the people on vacation who come back and see they have withdrawal lock issues online storage is always going to have a risk attached to it.
