This is not accurate.  If you look back to the post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=229438.msg4007805#msg4007805 , Raphael clearly states that the deposit bank account is in Pudong (which is the financial district in Shanghai).  BTC China ALSO is HQ'd in Pudong, so I don't understand why Raphael thinks he is exempt while BTC China is not???

tldr - do not deposit in Bitfinex until this is cleared up.
