Looks like the miner returned significant portion back. Here is the block, showing a reward of 7678ETH: https://etherscan.io/block/13307440 https://etherscan.io/block/13307440 From that 7676ETH was the fee by Bitfinex (see OP). And here (around 10 hours later) is a transaction from the miner giving back 7385ETH to Bitfinex: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x85294effd53126b3bfa9e7f655267e00ac1ae2ef76f4569644670bf5403637d6 https://etherscan.io/tx/0x85294effd53126b3bfa9e7f655267e00ac... Wonder if they talked or just decided to do this as a show of good will. Either way, still kept around $800k so not a bad deal.

How much of this is... "Return it or we break your legs"? I'd be significantly concerned about coming into $27 mn, even if (according to the laws of Medes and Persians and smart contacts) it was mine to rights. There's "I hate you $1,000 much", and "I hate you $1,000,000" much. I should be able to manage the first. The second? Not so much.

  Can confirm. I had a co-founder screw me out of >$1mm. It's not something I think I'll ever "get over". As in, if I see him walking down the street I may enter a state of temporary psychosis.

      eh the temporary psychosis is a good enough defense just tell the jury that they the other founder took the QSBS tax exemption and didn't even "pay their fair share", the jury will ignore the prosecutor's instructions and acquit

  You are dramatizing. Bitfinex is a bit shady but not Cocaine-dealers kind of criminal. Add that to the fact that many miners are anonymous or are actually pools run by actual companies. Best they can hope for is a legal proceeding.

    > Bitfinex is a bit shady but not Cocaine-dealers kind of criminal Not far off [1]. Serial counterfeiting, fraudulent tax losses, shipping "a large block of wood" in a box supposed to contain memory chips. Granted, no proven track record of violence. But most people in the illicit drug trade have no such record. And this one doesn't show evidence of good judgment.
