Can anyone explain exactly why would bitSTAMP claim to getting hacked? what do they gain doing that this point? they don't have any problems. On the other hand bitfinex im pretty sure it's still hurting from the latest august "hack" (remember the BFX tokens?). It should have disappeared, they are just beating a dead horse.


A lot more weight is being given to the concepts of scams etc, which allows for more manipulation - yet the fact of the matter remains that bitfinex is likely going to resolve these various matters in the coming days - and it may take weeks for longer term fixes.

Furthermore, bitfinex's trade volume remains relatively strong which is hardly a sign of a dying exchange (you can allege "fake" volume all you like, but there is no real evidence that bitfinex's volume is fake).
