Delisting hive at this point would be weird, I feel that the binance listing (regarding hive) was a kind of 'I'm sorry' gesture from Binance.

Yep, bittrex is the one that will end losing most with 0 intentionality, that exchange is the only one that played their cards in a 'legit' way since the beginning and now they're the center of the drama. Whatever they do, will receive bashing from 1 side or the other.

If I were the one who gained access to 'community321' I probably would have done the same. Sending the funds to bittrex were the 'logical' move in that sense. I also understand bittrex position when they intend to return the funds to 'community321'.
