I propose to the moderators to close this thread because no one was actually scammed. This is a dispute between partners and has nothing to do with the general public. No one on Bitfinex has actually lost any money, so by definition this isn't a scam.
As long as withdrawals on Bitfinex continue to function perfectly there is no scam.
I concur, based on the limited information provided here, I'm of the same opinion that no one was scammed and it seems like an internal dispute between owners and/or employees.
last time i did check taking customer money with out their permission to be on the market was not legal (you can google search MF global) no matter what excuse you put
