In light of your legal proceedings, it is in your best interest to abstain from making comments on a medium subject to legal discovery. Anything that you say here can be distorted in a court of law by Bitfinex lawyers. Quietly gather proofs and then make a case to a judge. Your lawyer will thank you for it.
These guys do have bank accounts on EU that they use to transfer the funds and for want I see some of them live here. Just because it's not regulated it doesn't stop being a liability under the law in Europe.
Yeah but you can't sue them for stealing your money, because they didn't. That a trade in cryptocurrency malfunctioned or was turned back is not something you're going to find regulated to the point you can ask for compensation.
And let's be honest, you're not really going to sue anyone, it's not a positive value move. It's just a lot of noise because you're unhappy but realistically there is nothing you can do but hope the people running that site give you some compensation, if they feel like it.
Let's be serious. For the amount of money I have to loose from this. I'm surely as hell suing these guys and first I'll start by making a complaint at the police.
You fail to realize, that I wasn't trading in crypto anymore. The trade was done, and my money was in dollars. Dollars is not a crypto currency and last time I saw, it's heavily regulated. So they didn't take my BTC (LTC actually) they took my dollars. That's a crime under any law.
You (or someone) gave the example of Coinbase and how the site went down and how people lost their money and that I just have to live with it? Oh well, turn on the news... the guy is under arrest and was pending trial last time I checked.
