guys are there any way to get those money back  ? my years hard earned money is there  , all my freelancing projects , all sleepless night's fees gone  what to do now ? I kept there all bitcoin for trading to increase them  .. now i am lost , crying 

It seems that the domain has indeed been sized -- reddit is literally exploding right now. I see the difference in the btc-e's whois, but it doesn't yet translate to me seeing that message. As mayax pointed out, it doesn't make any sense to make use of unlicensed exchanges. I feel stupid that I have taken such risks without actually thinking it through properly -- result is me losing the 1 BTC I had in my account there. I have accounts at Bitstamp and Kraken as well, but will not make use of Kraken anymore. I'll happily stick with Bitstamp from now on.

I have $200k on btce and I just need to laugh at people who say for the millionth fucking time that having money on an exchange is stupid. The parrot. Only because USA is saying now, after 6 years, it is illegal, I must believe it? Why it is illegal to trade and exchange bitcoin and other crypto currencies? For what exactly is needed a license and why it cannot be a financial company in let's say New Zealand? Because USA say so? Because criminals are using it? Is a joke, correct, because everything is used by criminals, even corn syrup.

What about btce is the only real Russian site with Russian support? Where do all the Russians go? Do you think they are going to believe some European or USA website?

A Russian in Greece with Cyprus company and Bulgaria/Ukraine hosting has nothing to do with USA. They say otherwise because the world knees down to their unjust bullying.

Next really funny thing: Mtgox user will NEVER get ANYTHING from btce situation. If, and there is 0,0% proof that it happened, the USA kidnapped any of btce's money, the very last thing what is going to happen is to send it to Japan to Karpeles.

An individual is accused of stealing gox money but not the entity btce, well, accused means nothing and this WizSec breaking fake news article is just what it is, some random fake news statement.

If USA is able to kidnap the money, which I very highly doubt, they would auction it off in probably 5 to 10 years. Forget your wet dreams about cheap coins - you call me delusional thinking btce is going to make it back and I call you delusional for thinking gox will get any.

I wonder if they want down on purpose to keep all BTC there so they can withdraw the BCC under their own addresses.

Because if they let everyone take their BTCout now they wouldn't make as much BCCfrom taking everyones.

Interesting!

i got like 3ETHlocked up there... not much, but I hope i get it back.

Don't see the reason why would they do that, this is just another altcoin, doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin. Anyway, I got the feeling that majority of exchangers, at least those bigest and most important ones, will not support BCC. Could be a lot of confunsions before and shortly after August 1 until everything gets back to normal.

Exactly,
Privacy is the next must step in Bitcoin improvements.

It is allready enough VISA to show all my cup of coffees and cheese cakes in monthly overview.

Again same shit with BTC?

No. Thanks.

Do we need a hardfork to implement CT (confidential transactions) to Bitcoin or Segwit alone is fine?

Dear everyone,

im holding atleast 500,000$ in my btc-e wallet what looks like gone for now.
im holding like 1700 ETH, 35k coins of NVC and 100k coins of NMC.

I heard good and bad news from the Russian side, but i dont know what to believe.
If there another peoples who control the BTC-e website the best for him is to go live back instead of stealing our money what will bring them to a criminal case.

I've also made a verification to BTC-E into XBTCE but they dont take any responsibility for now.

Anyone here also have more then 100K$ into the exchange please inform me so we can act together in any cases.

I hope to get a good news soon.

Laundering money through unlicensed exchange makes him accomplice with that hacker unless he can prove that he was not aware that he was used for that but since WizSec found his name long before then it seems that "WME" was keeping this issue unsolved for long time.

Check http://archive.is/6cFcY (at skype capture https://archive.is/6cFcY/1d5539131aad6491174158318495560bf91dd784.png you can find Alexander Vinnik name posted by WME user, 5 years ago).

If the news is true, then all btc-e assets will be taken, this will be the second case after mt.gox. Btc-e becomes a law target because of the case of movable securities assets that should be reported as a fixed tax for the government. Maybe it's time we think of DEX or many other markets.

All other unlicensed exchanges are now facing the same danger as it is happening to BTC-e.

US can issue arrest warrant to any of exchanges and their operators (owners and employees) will be arrested when they step into any country that have signed a treaty I have mentioned above.

Lets just hope that BTC-e owners considered this possibility and that they have a way to get out of this. If not, all unlicensed exchanges might close their businesses, at least for US citizens.

Check allegation number 6.

this doesn't say anything specifically about BTC-E. It does say they laundered billions of dollars over the years, but that is probably more likely to be Virwox. That shit is shady as hell and makes no sense. u ever go to that one?

I just heard that they tried to run away with approximately 66k bitcoin. It's good that police were able to track them down. But I am sure the legitimate bitcoin owners will never get back their amount and it will be seized by the government to fill up their treasury as unclaimed funds.

It is really a sad news because due to these kind of scammers, the reputation of bitcoin is in danger and general people will think that bitcoin users are mostly scammers because they don't get to look at the bigger pictures.

Let's hope that's simply the time it takes for the Feds to snapshot their data and return the servers... My altcoins there have nothing to do with their shenanigans.

We're screwed...

This is ridiculous. The Americans have detained a Russian citizen in Greece, for running a Bitcoin operation from Bulgaria. Now they want him deported to the United States. WTF? Why the Americans can't mind their own business.
