This article is a good read about what has happened before after the hack and as well as where the recovered bitcoins must go.

Who gets the $3.6BN in Bitcoin US seized in Bitfinex hack?It's actually a developing story and we still need to wait further for the decision about it. It is not only bitfinex that will decide on this, do they or not?
Seems like a lot of others want their Bitcoin back, but considering that Bitfinex compensated them somehow, just that it seems like the compensation was valued at what it was when the exchange was hacked? So it's like the amount to be returned to the original owners were the value of their assets way back then in USD, instead of the exact assets themselves. It's kinda difficult ig, but as I said, considering how Bitfinex compensated the owners, it wouldn't be odd for them to say that they technically own the Bitcoin now, and not the users.
They are totally owning those coins unless if they havent really given any refund into those old times on the time that theyve been hacked but we've seen that they do made out some action and paid
up those who had been affected which there would be no further complaints that they could throw against unless if Bitfinex would consider on adding up at least because the value now is way more
higher compared into those times but just like on others been saying that Bitfinex wouldnt really be having that responsibility on doing so.
