That is an interesting predicament. I wonder what will happen to any tokens left there if not withdrawn. Can the dev access it and keep it, or is it stuck there forever?

You mean our devs or their devs?
With a hard fork anything can happen from our side. But that would be stealing, and I don't think anyone would do anything like that. Their devs? Depends who holds the private keys of the wallet and what kind of security measures they have in place.
It looks like they want to wrap this up cleanly after the bankruptcy of their US operations, so whatever decision will be taken holders will have plenty of time to take action.
For example, BlockFi went through a bankruptcy process, and, although I had less than 1$ in the account when they went under, I received notifications at home about my options via mail, even though I am not a US citizen. I am pretty sure these guys with holdings in Bittrex get informed about their options, if they went through a KYC process. Otherwise, if they valued their privacy (and it's very good if they do), they should make sure they track their funds and take actions at the right times.
Yeah, the devs/owners in Bittrex. Thanks for the explanation.
