BFX is one of top exchanges by volume but also with loads of strange situations. They were hacked for 60 million USD and never disclosed what happened, they run USDT (Tether) that nobody is capable of checking and one of their bank accounts is located in very small polish city - Skierniewice.
They make in fees daily more than this bank holds yearly sources say.
BFX Markets
Today they have added a few ETH tokens, the trading just started so pumps are to be expected.
On the other hands just lately due to mix of account owners with some mafia business some money of exchange could been seized by polish government.
If you hold much in BFX its suggested to stay aware at this point.

One of the best reasons to be in the land of the free is you don't have a choice, but to NOT have your money there anyway...;)
Another good illustration of why you should never hold funds on an exchange. Transfer in, buy/sell, transfer out! If you keep coins on an exchange you are not embracing crypto and controlling your own money, it’s no different to a bank and at some stage you are likely to lose it to fraud/ hack/ bankruptcy etc etc.
Just like everyone bought we would never move to credit card and plastic. People believe we aren’t moving to tokens. The movement is happening, the reasons and applications that we don’t fully understand yet WILL COME.
Buy the tokens, move them to a wallet!
Don’t buy anything as most will die off and become worthless. Carefully examine everything and only invest in what you truest believe in. There is a lot of money to be made but also a lot of money to be lost.
Agree, definitely buy what you believe in and not willy nilly, alot of bullshit out there
First of all "Polish" should be written with a capital letter.
Secondly Bitfinex has multiple bank account in multiple countries (what has already been proven) and this is just one of those accounts.
What is more any connection to drug dealing is highly doubtful as Polish government took some actions lately to block cryptocurrency trading and business in favour to banks and started an information campaign about (fake) connection of all cryptocurrencies with drug dealing. The reason of this seize is probably strictly political and has nothing to do with real drugs. This is just another government agenda to convince people that "crypto is bad" by both information flood and force (like in this example).
dear @kingscrown wow great and useful information ,,, thanks for sharing ,,,
Hi kingscrown,
Wow, I am glad I dont have account open with Bifinex.
How much of this news can we really believe to be true?
Looks more like central bank cracking down on crypto currency exchanges to keep the tight strangle on exchanges from succeeding thus, keeping the retail traders and investors from succeeding or making profit.
Amazing informative post

I think it's a good news still to have new ETH tokens in Bitfinex. It could make the exchange more popular thus more opportunity for traders.

Who has the information about the Augur currency? I bought it for $ 70 and now it's $ 24, please help me right now. I am very thankful for that.
Many people are being harmed due to the price of this currency in the market.
