BTC-e.com

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.

About 79k here. Will have to give it some more time before further action. If funds have been seized by US government we should demand them returned, but no indication of that yet. 

The real criminals here are the US thugs btw.

Oh crap , you had money in there Kozi?
Sorry for your "possible" loss, let's say it that way.

But honesty if the coins get seized, what do you plan on doing? Legally?
And I assume this would be the safest bet because if what was left of the admins run away with them they are truly gone.

I really don't understand YOU and others like you. You have really good companies (licensed) but you are using a shit like BTC-e ? why?

I already gave you that answer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2045453.msg20432251#msg20432251

If the coins gets seized I will look into possibilities to claim my funds from the US mafia. We will have to see what kind of documents they require to release funds or if they will even release funds at all. I prefer if US do not seize the funds as I don't trust them. The best outcome would be if admin on the loose relaunch btc-e on a new domain and allow users to withdraw. I'm hoping for that outcome.

Also Metatrader, the best trading engine, and the most reliable API on the market. It was a very reliable exchange. Comparing BTC-e to Coinbase/GDAX in terms of uptime, reliability......there's no comparison. BTC-e wins every single time---until now.

I don't understand all the schadenfreude around here. Different people make different risk assessments, and people make mistakes. I wish there was less of this "You guys are idiots, I told you so! " kind of attitude around here.

Well, good luck with that as nearly 80k is such a large amount.
In case you get your coins back, I suppose we can expect a new song about btce just like you did about mtgox? I would chose "survivor" for the lyrics.

Unfortunately, they seem to be treating this like Libertyreserve... and I don't think there were any funds released in that case. The way the feds framed this was really messed up... "the entire customer base are criminals and the exchange itself is a money laundering operation" is basically what they've claimed. That doesn't sound like customers have much chance at claiming their funds.

It would be nice if they would relaunch on a new domain, but it would basically be just to let users withdraw. And crypto only -- I can't imagine they will have channels to wire out USD or EUR at this point (nor would you necessarily want that money hitting your bank account).

I have to think it puts the admins at great risk, just to refund people. Noble, but likely? Probably not.

The only bright spot is that they are Russians, so they might just have the balls to do it....

btc-e making like 200k$ daily, they dont need my 500k$.

Be smart man. You aren't the only one. there are many people that holding thousands of dollars in BTC-e.
They have almost $100M ETH https://etherscan.io/address/0x8eb3fa7907ad2ef4c7e3ba4b1d2f2aac6f4b5ae6
They have $177M BTC https://blockchain.info/address/15GSxw5D86JBQ74cUBposYtshSWn6mwTxC
And million of dollars Dash and LTC and Name coins.

I believe they have $500M right now.

500,000,000 / 200,000 = 2500 days
2500 / 365 = 6.8 years

They scam you because they are 7 years frontier than any exchanges now.

Give $500,000 to mafia and find the admins.

don't be afraid. a lot of chance that btc-e had more than 1 operator. probably they are choosing the right one for the position right now. will work back on - shortly. one week from this time. btc-e becomes a btc-e

still, is it right if you hold there, amount of money, more than you can afford to lose? at any exchange?
i was luck that i invested there -+$400 in btc to buy dash and withdraw them few days ago, right before close up.

What's next, does the US gov seize bitcointalk.org because we talk about btc-e.com?

Civil forfeiture seems rampant.

bitcoitalk does nothing with the fiat, i think.
it's not healthy way to mix cash and crypto, specifically in way btc-e has done.
