I know there are apparently people who specialize in recovering lost wallets and tracking tumbled funds on the blockchain. There must be more people like me who had a lot, but not most of our money on BTC-e. Perhaps we can discuss how we might go about hiring people who might be able to help us. There must be people more knowledgeable than I am about this stuff out there who could at least help investigate where the money is and possibly who has control of it. I just happen to have a screen shot of my finances right before it shut down. People probably still have cookies on their computers from the last time they looked at their finance pages in case the user info can't be recovered.
Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but if anyone has any ideas, lets start brainstorming together.

I'm one of the people that happened to have most of my funds on there when it went down
.Even if some people did use it for laundering BTC obtained from illegal sources, I'd say a vast majority of the users are legitimate. I'm not sure exactly what the allegations are, but it sounds like the arrest is due to money laundry. If they indeed had anything at all to do with helping with this, or if they are just arrested because the site itself is used for this purpose nobody knows. But I'd like to think the best course of action would be:
1) Wait for information about why it's shut down
2) Look up who made the arrest (local police, FBI, whatever it might be)
3) Issue some joint user statement about the funds being held captive, petition them to release all funds not connected to suspected accounts
Although it still feels like a long shot.

Count on me, I took a picture of the computer screen an hour before it fell, where is my data and all the LTC and NMC I have.... I hope!
