Bitfinex Issues Reports

  • chitranpuppy chitran (@chitranpuppy) reported

    @bitfinex @ReefDeFi This is scam project, a lot of peoples loss money because this ****, they prepare to got delist on other exchanges and you bring it here, lol

  • longnecctrades Giraffe (@longnecctrades) reported

    who wants to guess, once again, that this tether situation turns into a big nothing burger by the end of the week? bitfinex'd taking victory laps rn is hilarious because he's vindicated but it still won't mean **** in the long run.

  • Bitfinexed Bitfinex’ed 🔥 (@Bitfinexed) reported

    @SemiCynic Actually no, the exchange reports your short position to Bitfinex shareholders, who then turn off their wash trading bots that keep the prices at a dollar. They then pull down all of the sell orders and replace them at $1000 per Tether and do one trade. You get liquidated at 1k.

  • Psiupoetico J.Almeida (@Psiupoetico) reported

    @bitfinex Reef will never value because Binance, when you buy Reef, converts your balance to BTC and locks it for interest, then uses BTC to repurchase the Reef and return it to the customer after profiting from Reef depreciation and of the Reef against the BTC.

  • LeverageMonkey Leverage Monkey (@LeverageMonkey) reported

    Bitfinex shorts back down to flat. They just wanted to knock it down from $34,600… *not investment advice

  • arielstulberg Ariel Stulberg (@arielstulberg) reported

    @CasPiancey If that's the model, yeah I agree. But aren't they also able to 'loan' to bitfinex? If tethers are accepted as being worth $1 on exchanges, why not issue just trade them for coin, then coin for dollars (assuming you can get away with that, which, I wouldn't know).

  • Umpalimpi1 Umpalimpi (@Umpalimpi1) reported

    @ThunderousChad @0zV8TJrBrvpwLbw @whale_alert .... that just bitfinex, wtf.

  • BennettTomlin Bennett Tomlin (@BennettTomlin) reported

    @panekkkk @adamscochran 1. Type: was described by BBG as bank fraud, plus I’m aware of NYAG “friends of Bitfinex” and PGP discussing shell games with banks 2. Amount is going to come down to how much they were transacting 3. I’m making guesses based on the other bank fraud sentences I’ve seen

  • Decentralizd Degentralizd🖖 (@Decentralizd) reported

    @herak_pavol as much as I might agree, tether is doing things not deemed allowed in the current ecosystem unless you are the federal reserve. While I would agree **** the fed, I also have to, in that same line of thinking say **** bitfinex and tether. same **** different outfit. ends same.

  • longnecctrades Giraffe (@longnecctrades) reported

    "ah ****, tether is bad, been saying this all along!! get out of bitcoin before the crash!!!" - Bitfinex'd since $1000 BTC

  • Psiupoetico J.Almeida (@Psiupoetico) reported

    @ReefDeFi @bitfinex Reef will never value because Binance, when you buy Reef, converts your balance to BTC and locks it for interest, then uses BTC to repurchase the Reef and return it to the customer after profiting from Reef depreciation and of the Reef against the BTC.

    @bitfinex Your mother is waiting for you to come back to support you Channel 4. 48 million 🌠 ⚡ 🌠 ⚡

  • nam_kikim Chisaki (@nam_kikim) reported

    Please support Airdrop ($SGB) From Flare Networks @BittrexGlobal @bitfinex

  • 80z_born Maxime Clermont @ The Road out of Serfdom (@80z_born) reported

    @woofBIGDAWG Except when the tether FUD goes away this time, it brings down a few people, an exchange( Bitfinex) leaves a lot of people wounded in the process.

  • Fin4Dao Fin4BanklessDao (@Fin4Dao) reported

    @CL207 I read that bitfinex and mex traders closed the majority of their shorts, but bybit and binance traders did not. This will be one hell of a melt-up if they are caught with their retail pants down.

  • herak_pavol Pavol Herak (@herak_pavol) reported

    @Decentralizd Yes bitfinex investigation took over 9months. Same ****, different outfit, same outcome? It might be a bull trap, but a little too obvious. Ask yourself? Would you close your long now with a small possible profit? Are you more likely to short?

  • RasheeedW RasheeedWallace (@RasheeedW) reported

    @kimberley_tjin either way we will at least retest the break out if there is any support. The summer lull is still in play and we could easily see bitfinex short whales return when next FUD wave hits in order to flush out the FOMO retail of today by end of september. the Buying Volume still low

    @bitfinex @FlareNetworks As an exchange that are supporting flr airdrop, are you going to support songbird SGB airdrop as well;

  • SupSpaceman Spaceman (@SupSpaceman) reported

    @ThinkingBitmex Initially mass BTC pump across the board, then a massive dump as people cash out scared, then slow bleed down to 4 digit BTC because theres no Tether/Bitfinex fuckery to keep prices afloat anymore

  • andrewtherush Fiat Pauper (@andrewtherush) reported

    @euolvontri @cryptomaggs @intocryptoverse Why though? Am I not wrong that it's backed mostly by "commercial paper" and has worrying ties with bitfinex? Is it not a problem that there's little to no transparency and a whole lot of scammy people involved? Inform me.

  • crackingcookies Crypto Cookie (@crackingcookies) reported

    @hindenbear @Bitfinexed @paoloardoino "This week, we're taking action to end Bitfinex and Tether's illegal activities in New York." so the Attorney General of New York is shutting them down in the jurisdiction she has power over?.. "Just a misunderstanding bro" :)

  • blk014 blk014 ⚡ (@blk014) reported

    @paoloardoino Is @bitfinex working 100% remote? Is there any office in HK, actually?

  • energy3_crypto Crypto Energy (@energy3_crypto) reported

    @WizardDoom I use $UTK 🚀 It is tradable on all major CEX platforms including #binance, Bittrex, Bitfinex, Bithumb Global, #Kucoin, #Huobi. Even though the market seems down sometimes, I still remain bullish with $UTK with its adoption rate growing exponentially!

  • Psiupoetico J.Almeida (@Psiupoetico) reported

    @bitfinex REEF needs to value375% to become relevant, seek a top 100 in the coinmarketcap and become a DeFi that attracts more market attention. Reef It's an institutional profile - DeFi created by a guy who knows how banks work, a problem that has no market capitalization.

  • plebbbed redguy (@plebbbed) reported

    @WuBlockchain Sell al $USDT and just hold $BUSD $USDC $PAX… **** @Tether_to and @bitfinex
