I remember at the time of the Bitfinex hack arrests I said, no way those coins are going back to Bitfinex. At the minimum, *definitely* not for several years and prob never. I got some pushback on that.

Here we are a couple years later and I see breathless news reports about 'US govt moving the bitfinex hack seizure'. I think a lot of people are wondering about an auction... that's the usual playbook for 'profits from crime'.

Those coins belong to Bitfinex, very obviously, there is zero ethical grey area there.

I could still be wrong and some decency prevails, but let's see (even then, withholding such a large amount of money for years, from a victim, is disgraceful). I'm actually very curious.
