"The BFX tokens will remain outstanding until redeemed in full by Bitfinex or possibly exchanged" for shares of Bitfinex's owner, iFinex Inc., the company said in a statement."
Translation: We stole your bitcoins

How many users were stolen from? Can't find that info anywhere.
$65 million stolen from 10 users or 100? Then everyone loses 36% value and those stolen from don't know it was them and only lose 36%? No insurance to protect the system and avoid adjustments due to theft? No FDIC
