In my humble opinion, if we consider HIVE as the 'main' chain, all the steem that remained in the other chain is a bonus, as the attacker effectively 'paid' with all his funds in the new chain.
Agree 100% on that. Airdrop with the same amount of tokens and better market valuation.
I doubt though that Binance will delist HIVE. Almost all the major ones have it and they wouldn't miss on making some profits on that. They also almost always trade it a at a cheaper price. It's annoying this war though and some parties are being involved without their will, as bittrex was.
From my point of view they will send back the 23 million to community123 and let others deal with this shit. I would do the same. Why would bittrex get involved in some tricky situation as this one. It's not like they were announced prior to sending the funds.
Would you do the job that the Korean witness entitled bittrex to do, if were in their position? Why would they spend the time to send tokens to presumable owners and so on. Not my war, not my business
Bittrex is really in a no win position.
I dont blame the exchanges for remaining rather neutral in this. Although, if we think back, they do have blood on their hands since they powered up their users stakes.

This. Only bittrex doesn't have blood on their hands.. ironically they will be punished more than the rest at this point.

As @empoderat said bittrex doesn't have any Steem blood on its hands and probably that's why that guy sent the 23 million STEEM to it. If I were bittrex I would instantly return the funds. They weren't invited to this game.
Probably it's the 'easiest' way for them to deal with the problem... I just checked that bittrex still didn't sent the funds back.
Probably there's a lot of pressure from both sides behind the curtain.

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'.

The logical way, for me, would be to for community321 to do the job till the end and not involve bittrex. This will end quite quickly in my opinion because bittrex will not to the job and I definitely get them. It's a crypto exchange after all not mother Theresa.
