From the team:

"We have found a split in the blockchain. Please do not send any Bay while we investigate. Also please keep staking.

So, by the looks of it there will be a two-step fix. First we focus on getting everyone on the same side. That would be the Latoken side of the chain. While we do that, David and yshurik will work on an update that prevents this from happening again. We have a bootstrap for you that will take you to the right side https://github.com/bitbaymarket/bitbay-bootstrap/releases/tag/v1
Everyone that is in sync with chainz download that and follow these instructions:
1. Stop client/wallet
2. Backup wallet.dat / keys
3. Remove all files in data folder except wallet.dat (and testnet/ if testnet was used)
4. Place bootstrap.dat in data folder (for client) or data dir (for Qt wallet)
5. Start client/wallet
6. Wait 2-4 hours"

Also:

To find out what side of the split you are on, you can do the following:
For client  enter this command in debugger:
text=str(BLK.getblock("3e5b4548be900aa721f56815eda345ebec9f9e1bd81a3fb3b4a8c1839ef38b3d"))
If it doesn't return a block or says that block isn't found its busy and just try it until it gives either that it wasn't found or it was found. If its found you are on wrong side especially if length matches.
For QT try getblock 3e5b4548be900aa721f56815eda345ebec9f9e1bd81a3fb3b4a8c1839ef38b3d
if it returns block, you are on the wrong side.
