BTC-E/WEX is preventing access to what is likely millions of dollars in coins and fiat, for not just US customers but customers worldwide. I am a victim and if you are reading this, chances are you are, too.
They seem to have intentionally structured their business to allow them to steal money from people without any legal recourse for the victims. This is an organized criminal enterprise. I suspect they merely pretended to change ownership when they moved from BTC-E to WEX, since the business structure is the same and they still engage in the theft of customer funds. They are also engaged in their own self-promoting propaganda campaign.
I am not going to entertain that any legal system in the world (they are all taking bribes) is going to allow any judge or group of lawyers to collect money from what appears to be or related to the Russian Mafia. This means that any solution will be based in using intelligence-gathering and social engineering to collect money back from these people.
On this note, what are people doing on that front?
Can anyone share a real story of successfully passing the verification process after having their account locked, from the June 2017 to the present time frame? If no one is passing verification, then obviously why bother handing personal documents over to the Russian Mafia? They will simply use those materials to sell them which only increases their financial net worth. This is a criminal enterprise, after all.
Can anyone share a real story of transferring coins or money out of WEX, after having their account locked and being required to pass verification? Given the nature of this criminal enterprise, I would assume they will post their own propaganda in response to these questions. However, a good idea that works will have within it the element of truth that will shine light on the proper way ahead.
Let that light shine forth people. It can't show us the way unless you collectively respond and start sharing information.
Since WEX is registered to do business out of Singapore, I encourage you to submit a report to the Commercial Affairs Department in Singapore
https://www.police.gov.sg/e-services/report/suspicious-transaction-report-online-lodging-system/lodging-a-commercial-crime-report. They may be able to redact their business registration there if they receive enough complaints.
