To quote from 2013 :

I. Self-moderated "support thread", filled with a bunch of socks posting nonsense. This is standard scammer operating procedure.

II. Running stolen, bug ridden software (the old Bitcoinica codebase) that has already proven itself useless in the marketplace (three times!)

III. Scammers themselves admit to crediting "investors" infinite USD/BTC to execute the naive users.

It's true that scammer tags aren't really given out much anymore, but that's no reason to allow well known scammers run amok. You have been warned.

To quote from 2016 :

We are investigating the breach to determine what happened, but we know that some of our users have had their bitcoins stolen. We are undertaking a review to determine which users have been affected by the breach. While we conduct this initial investigation and secure our environment, bitfinex.com will be taken down and the maintenance page will be left up.

Sorry for your loss.
