I was one who had their coins stolen back in 2016 and I don’t think I will get them back even if they were recovered. Basically after the hack they gave everybody some token for their company.
The token went up and I sold and my loss in fiat terms was minimal so I just moved on with my life. Then eventually the token was 1:1 with what was stolen but I already sold.
So most people especially if they held everything got paid back in fiat, not Bitcoin. I doubt they will give us our bitcoins back.
It's great to hear your response on this scenario especially that you are one of the affected users from Bitfinex incident. Also, based from the information you've provided and the information I've read online, it seems like both infos matched. I guess even though that you've almost received most of the amount you've lost at that time in terms of fiat, it's best if you will still receive some percentage of the bitcoin recovered as the price of bitcoin isn't the same as before.
Also, I hope this article is true and hopefully you'll be able to receive some bitcoin that you own way back then.
