Breaking News: Customers Prepare Bitfinex Lawsuit!

Context

 A week or so ago, Bitfinex suffered a hack in which ~$78 million worth of bitcoins were stolen. 

They responded to this in two ways:

  1.  By forcing a 36% loss upon some of its customers' crypto-assets (including BTC and LTC). 
  2.  Issuing an exchangeable IOU coin BFX, to be redeemed at some unspecified date - and which unfortunately traded at a price below face value upon market open.

For more information, please read this post.

Lawsuit

Certain Bitfinex customers - who presumably did not sell their BFX tokens  - have decided to file a class action lawsuit against the exchange.

I will reserve judgement, but will be closely following developments in this affair.
