So they admit that the money was once lost, just they recovered part of it? Of course, they forgot to disclose.

[nonbel]

No. They claim the money was seized from a "partner" (Crypto Capital) by various governments (~$400 million to Poland, etc), and they are trying to get it back.

That is between them and their "customers", I guess.

Bitfinex has been shady for a long time and tether from its beginning. So, good luck to them. But that is nothing new.
