I want to transfer my 1 etherum to bittrex. But after acknowledging that btc-e was charged with money laundering. There is a chance that etherum I have may be laundered/shady. Can I get in trouble by depositing these coins in bittrex ?
P.s note that I have purchased my BTC legally through localbitcoins.com and transferred them to BTC-E for trading purposes.

Could you please link something about that? Google does not show up anything about Bittrex being charged for ML.

BTC-e hasn't traded since July 25th. and Bittrex doesn't trade money, only crypto, unless they have recently added it and I didn't notice.

Sorry for mistake. I mean BTC-E not Bittrex.

Well, their main Ethereum wallet was publicly identified, so it is likely possible, in theory, to identify your coins through taint analysis. Having said that, the chances that anything will happen are slim. I don't think anyone cares about your 1 ETH. Their wallet was endlessly split, paid out in refunds, and that money has been disbursed into the economy -- it's long gone in many cases. I don't think law enforcement agencies are instructing exchanges to freeze anyone's accounts; we would have heard about that by now.

I always play it safe, so if it were me, I'd probably send it through a non-KYC service first to get back some clean coins. Just so I would have peace of mind. But like I said, that's probably overkill...

Btc-e has started trading and refunds in the name of wex.nz some days ago.
And No, bittrex is not trading money at all.
I am asking this because I have fear that  bittrex may accuse me for depositing shady cryptos because they were in BTC-E where lot of illegal things have happened.
