In the latest blow, on Tuesday, an alternative virtual currency that is owned and operated by the same people as Bitfinex, known as Tether, announced that it had been hacked and lost around $30 million worth of digital tokens.

None of that has been enough to stop customers from pumping billions of dollars worth of virtual currency trades through Bitfinex in recent weeks — on some days, the exchange claimed to be doing more trades, by dollar value, than some stock exchanges in the United States.

>One point that didn't fit in the story: After getting hacked in 2016, Bitfinex said it gave every customer a 36% haircut to cover losses. But at least one customer, Coinbase, got a better deal after threatening to sue, multiple sources told me.

now I understand why bitfinexed goes to that extent to keep himself anonymous (voice changer, proxies). I wouldn't be surprised if Tether/Bitfinex tried to threaten his life to make him stop talking about this shady shit. Fuck Bitfinex, fuck Tether and fuck the shills.

because media and finance are both owned by the same jews. Crypto is the way that the unwashed goyim get out from under them. They did not anticipate crypto, and they fear it.

He's a dirty ass kike by the way

So the exchange released his private details to the public as well? Damn, if true, this proves that Bitfinex is a very untrustworthy exchange. If proven that it is involved with this Tether printing BS, I hope it gets shut down.
