Title: Send bitcoin to old btc-e address!
Post by: phapgia on December 09, 2017, 09:58:46 AM
Hey guys, yesterday I have sent some bitcoins to my old address on BTC-e. I can check that the transfer has comfirmed to this address,  but when I log-in to WEX they have change my address after they launch back BTC-e as Wex now.
SO is there anyway that I can access into old address or transfer my coin to new address?? I'm a new miner and this is my first coins, it is important with me. Please help!!!

Not possible. BTC-E was Seized by many law enforcement agencies (https://btc-e.com/index.html) so you are very unlikely get your coins back, because even if they still have the private keys, i doubt that they will hand you any of them because in theory they own the keys now. However you can always try contacting some of the law enforcement agencies, if you wish to try. Wex has new databases and such, so the private keys are different for the exchange as well. I wish you the best of luck.

thankyou, so sad to hear it. I think they don't care about few thousands satoshis of a nameless miner as I'm :)))
what a painful lesson...
