Bitfinex users to lose 36% of their money after bitcoin theft

A problem shared is a problem halved.

That was the solution that Hong Kong-listed Bitfinex came up with to generalize the losses that was incurred in last week’s attack.

If you recall, the bitcoin exchange was forced to stop trading, withdrawals and deposits in all digital currencies after discovering a security breach in the system, which resulted in some 119,756 bitcoins—worth more than $61 million at the time—from some of its users.

Bitfinex said that “after much thought, analysis and consultations,” they decided to “generalize losses across all accounts.”
