I made a thread yesterday regarding bitfinex and made certain allegations:
https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@sotnd1996/bitfinex-likely-took-36-of-funds-from-customers-wallets-to-pay-themselves-for-100-of-their-hacked-assets
1) they delayed any release of information so they could "cook their books" ie. they had something to hide and they needed time to fake their records.
2) they had their customers pay for their companies own bitcoin losses, by creating fake "trading accounts" and pretending that their companies bitcoin assets were actually owned by "traders" who were hacked. This way they could claim socialized losses rather than simply say that some of their own coins were stolen and gone for good. This would also mean that they owned a significant amount of BFXcoins.
They responded to my thread through an announcement on their website admitting to these allegations

1) weeks after the hack they are only now in discussions with an unqualified auditor. (obviously this should have been arranged at the time of the haircut...)
We are also in the process of engaging Ledger Labs to perform an audit of our complete balance sheet for both cryptocurrency and fiat assets and liabilities.
2) They admitted that 2 of the top 10 BFXcoin holders are "their staff" , which was exactly what was expected/predicted.
In point of fact, two out of the top ten BFX token-holders are in our management team.
