Bitfinex hacked coins should be returned to Bitfinex, right?
It should be, but the problem is complicated now, so the bitcoins from Bitfinex hacked will be in the hand of US Gov for a while/years.
Bitfinex was hacked 119K BTC back in 2016 when the BTC price was still below $600.
Bitfinex has released BFX tokens and given to all accounts affected by the hack with a portion of 1 BFX for every $1 lost.
And all BFX token have been exchanged for cash/other coins or to buy RRT (recovery right tokens).
If the lost BTC can be recovered, the funds will be distributed to all RRT token holders with a calculation of 1 RRT = $1.
The total supply of RRT token is 30M = $30M. And the 119K BTC now worth more than $7B.
