Bitfinex was released within some weeks of the Bitcoinica source code leak.
The codebase was copied from a defunct, thrice robbed company.
That code is not capable of keeping the database consistent at peak loads.
That code is not scalable. That code was not, and is not correct.
Not correct according to specification. (Which doesn't exist.)
I think this is just an issue and not really happen bitfinex hacked the site, I see the market response to the falling price of bitcoin few hours ago, okay let's look at the latest news from the next bitfinex
I just saw people panic Sell
Thanks for the information @r4fken
