It’s hilarious that the Bitfinex hacker was a fake entrepreneur, fake tech investor, fake marketing guru, & terrible rapper. So on brand. @LucJFlynn, we’re gonna have to talk about this on the podcast. Haha

An inconvenient coincidence
(@rpmjrOM) reported
@CryptoGoosey @hackylawyER Tether doesn't have to steal from Bitfinex. Bitfinex issues $1 billion in debt. Tether buys it with new Tethers. $1 billion created. When you're printing (fake) money, stealing would be unnecessary.

The U.S. government seizure of @bitfinex assets doesn't mean anything for the market. Don't be so fast to think the government isn't preparing to hold crypto as well. If the market goes down because of this news it could be more from fear of the selloff than the actual selloff.

But in July 2017 Alphabay was seized and shut down. This likely allowed law enforcement to access Alphabay's internal transaction logs, which would enable them to trace the stolen Bitfinex funds through Alphabay. 4/6

@coinbureau “special agents obtained access to files within an online account controlled by Lichtenstein. Those files contained the private keys required to access the digital wallet that directly received the funds stolen from Bitfinex” Seed Phrase was online.

@IamHaribaldi Right, but part of the problem is these funds belong to individuals, not Bitfinex directly. Bitfinex was just in custody of them at the time. The US would have an obligation to ensure there is oversight getting the funds back to the original parties.

@novogratz Bitfinex stole billions from American users when they locked us out of their system and confiscated our funds. I was glad to see them hacked, they personally stole from me and their support staff mocked me. Hope the feds keep the BTC, Bitfinex is evil.

@deyonte_btc Whole thing reeks of bullshit. How ******** were these people sophisticated enough to know how to hack Bitfinex but stupid enough to store the private keys on a cloud server. And if the keys were on a cloud server why did it take the Feds 6 years to recover them?

@fintwit_news Now the DOJ can try to figure out who hacked the exchange. They will need to determine that Bitfinex was not involved in stealing their customer’s BTC before returning it to them. Note the couple was arrested for laundering it, not the HACK. They received it from someone….

Lessons to teach my kids today: 1) Be careful what you post online. Someday you may get caught laundering billions in crypto assets and people will finally view all of your terrible rap videos. 2) NEVER store billions in crypto assets on a cloud wallet. #Bitfinex $btc

@n4n084191635 @EamonJavers So the Blockchain says that Bitfinex gave a bunch of Bitcoin to someone. Then Bitfinex called the DOJ and said "whoops take backsies!". And you say "ah yes, working as intended."

Amazing that the Bitfinex funds were recovered without Core devs jamming a "state intervention" down everyone's throats.

The US Department of Justice announced that it seized $3.6 B worth of #BTC stolen from Bitfinex in 2016. With this news, the price went down. Don't worry,it can take even years for those coins to be distributed to their owners. There is no need to panic for fear of a sale coming.

@MartyBent @PrestonPysh My guess is the US will hold them for a very long time and then probably to take bitfinex down or something so they don’t have to square up

@gananciabitcoin @APompliano When Bitfinex made their customers whole, was it through Tether prints? If so, technically, those BTCs should find their way to Tether’s balance sheet to help stabilize that lingering threat of collapse.

@AKCryptoJV @FollowBitcoin4 @CryptoWhale They can absolutely sell it if bitfinex can't prove that it's theirs in a often times a unreasonable time frame, happened to me when my ATV was stolen when I was out of state. They'll liquidate that **** at a fraction of the current price of BTC too and not think twice. RIP ATV

@APompliano pomp why don't you address the real issue which is the US GOV deciding to keep it all & not give it to bitfinex. instead they liquidate it all at once... we both know there isn't enough liquidity volume to cover that amount of BTC being sold at once?

@BowTiedNightOwl They kept the private keys on a cloud server. Would a hacker sophisticated to steal from Bitfinex do this?

@lightcrypto oh bearlight, ide agree with you.. except bitfinex filed with DOJ in 2016 and has been working with them since and well before their other legal probems its stolen property.

Those files contained the private keys required to access the digital wallet that directly received the funds stolen from Bitfinex, and allowed special agents to lawfully seize and recover more than 94,000 bitcoin that had been stolen from Bitfinex.
