Is this the same Bitfinex whose CFO said
they "bank like criminals?" The same Bitfinex who just lost $850M in a bank seizure by law enforcement? The same Bitfinex whose CEO is a ghost that nobody has ever seen before? The same Bitfinex whose longtime CSO (Phil Potter) resigned as regulatory scrutiny, allegations of criminal market manipulation and other legal problems piled up last year?
WEX.nz may have been on the extreme end of things regarding their lawless mentality, but Bitfinex is very close behind them. Anyone with significant funds on deposit at Bitfinex or Tether is surely playing with fire!
Would I trust BFX more than a revived BTC-e? If I had a gun to my head I would simply because they've managed to keep functioning despite their slackness and idiocy in choosing who they entrust money to.
All the same I wouldn't deposit a poo into Bitfinex either. I would assume there
might be some redress if it all went wrong. This thread is a demonstration of that not being the case with BTC-e.
