Bitfinex Offers $3.6 Million Bounty in Bid to Recover Stolen Bitcoin

in #bitcoin8 years ago

 Bitfinex is reportedly offering a reward worth up to $3.6m for the recovery of bitcoins stolen from its exchange last week. The Hong Kong-based startup lost nearly 120,000 BTC in the incident (an amount worth roughly $71m at press time), and now suggests it's willing to offer 5% of these funds (or about 6,000 BTC) as a reward should they be found and returned. The news came social media today  in a post by Bitfinex community director Zane Tackett. In response to a  question about the existence of such a program, he stated that a bounty would be awarded to anyone who had information that helped the exchange recover the funds. Tackett said: 

"[Five percent] of recovery and for information leading  to recovery (but no bounty if no recovery); if multiple persons lead to  recovery, share pro rata."

And if they prove it was an "inside job"? Just throwing it out there.

remember Crapsy Cryptsy doing the same crap

Repetitive issues about stolen bitcoins has been going on over the years. And the support of most wallets or crypto-exchange ain't even helpful when it comes to resolving our situations. The only saving grace we always end up with is going through the deepweb. If you're going through any crypto misery or loss of wallet or crypto related issue also then this Tor link will be helpful for you i guess https://venomthreads.com . If all wallets and exchange platforms can't be vouched for or guaranteed to deliver i think they shouldn't be allowed to offer services.
