I am completely speechless. Binfinex has STOLEN over $5,500 in USD and 240 LTC from my account. I was short leading up to the incident last night and able to close my position well before the wild swings began. This is the kind of dip that many of us have been waiting for and Bitfinex decides to arbitrarily cancel all trades? The hacker story makes a nice excuse, but there was a legitimate sell off that got exacerbated by margin calls. That's why I here to begin with, to use the leverage. I've been a loyal user on this exchange and there was no refund for me when I was long 1,500 LTC before things got ugly back in December. Why should it be acceptable for me to fund those losses when the Bitfinex LTC exchange printed a .0001 back then? That was Bitfinex's mistake just as much as allowing someone to hack the website, if that is indeed what happened. I will be closing my account and taking any and all legal actions available. I suspect there is more to the story and I intend to find out what it is. Ultimately, it's this type of thievery and abuse that will prevent this exchange from being viable in the future, and it is an example of why crypto in general is suspect. In not honoring the legitimate trades and standing by it's users Bitfinex has lost all credibility and in my opinion is no better than the hackers.
