This is an interesting thought I had recently too.

The hacked funds were taking in cryptocurrencies but a lot of the payouts and buybacks were done in fiat. Since it was in 2016 it started and took a few years for people to be paid back, bitfinex might have to refund people their crypto but they might find a reason not to...

It would really be just considerable if Bitfinex would really consider out on not to give any coins back into those users who had been affected by the hack.Why? They had already refunded or compensate earlier which means
they dont have already the responsibility of doing so even the coins been retrieved out but pretty much sure that there would be users who would really file up and tending to have some part
but on general or actual sense of things then they do have the full rights on whatever Bitfinex would really to do about of those coins.

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

It really make the situation critical after reading that. Both the parties are claiming but the tokens they distributed in compensation at the time of hack was at $1 and is still around there. While bitcoin rose up much higher.
Bitfinex also made another token which were the share of the coin holders and they said that they will refund according to that share. It may help the process to work out.

Now for those who say that the compensated coin is still there while their bitcoin rose high up then at that time bitfinex paid the amount in token worth of equal to their bitcoins. So the bitcoin holders were free to buy back bitcoin the same amount as they had.

Still the situation is waiting for the results and the community is waiting to see that how a situation like this is resolved.
