After 119,756 Bitcoin (BTC) were stolen from the Bitfinex exchange in 2016, Bitfinex is said to be able to recoup its losses. The US government said it did not know if there were other beneficiaries. Bitfinex compensated by spreading the loss to its customers and issuing new tokens.

The Crime Victims' Rights Act and the Mandatory Victim Compensation Act require victims to be fully and promptly compensated for their losses. Bitfinex covered the losses by reducing customers' accounts by 36% and issuing BFX tokens.

The government proposes to create a website where victims can report themselves. Share your views in the comments.
