Bitfinex is reportedly offering a reward worth up to $3.6m
for the recovery of bitcoins stolen from its exchange last week.
The Hong Kong-based startup lost nearly 120,000 BTC in the incident (an amount
worth roughly $71m at
press time), and now suggests it's willing to offer 5% of these funds (or
about 6,000 BTC) as a reward should they be found and returned.
The news came social media today in a post by Bitfinex
community director Zane Tackett. In response to a question about the
existence of such a program, he stated that a bounty would be awarded to anyone
who had information that helped the exchange recover the funds
