If the BTC-e story is true, what is the likely effect it will have on the price?

Will be minimal if any effect at all. This time gov-banking oligopoly couldn't confiscate bitcoin holdings of the exchange like they did to MtGox
[...]

Plus BTC-e would be the place to take your freshly acquired bitcoins to. So except from some nervous day traders this won't do much negatively for the price. Maybe even the opposite, the number of bitcoins that are actually being traded just got reduced.

The 38-year-old is characterized by the US authorities as one of the leading members of an organization that was running large amounts of money through an online Bitcoin digital exchange platform that helped to "launder" more than $ 4 billion from 2011 to date!

Wow... Just wondering how many billions of $$$ have been laundered through other "online Bitcoin digital exchange platforms" like Bitstamp, Kraken, and Bifinex?

Brace.

To the Oligarch market manipulators, bravo! Well played!
Your FUD on BTC-e was timed perfectly with the double top!
And to think, you didn't even need to print "China bans bitcoin!" this time.

Depens how long the deep free fall is!

Is anyone surprised that an anonymous site run by russians wasn't a hive of money laundering?

I don't get the gox coins bear market though. If they were only on there itvwouldnt have had much effect. I guess they were rinsed and sold elsewhere.

[becoin]

Are we all going to die??

Not before we see John McAfee winning his bet for 1 bitcoin = $500000 by 2020.

Is anyone surprised that an anonymous site run by russians wasn't a hive of money laundering?

No I don't think anyone is actually surprised. It's just the timing is conspicuous. The articles state that the FBI had been watching Alexander for months, possibly longer as they were working on the case for a year.

So why move in now?

Why not in January, February, March, April, May, or June?

Oh, right.... "they" were too busy running up the crypto market then.  

Same with moving in on Mt. Gox.... came after the peak.

Are we all going to die??

Of course, I doubt there is an immortal prowling around the forum. Except, maybe for Satoshi.

Its a long way to lock-in yet.
Next period doesn't start until Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:01:51 GMT.
Then it's about  2016 blocks after that, which is a couple of weeks.

What's that supposed to mean? Sooner or later every bitcoin (stolen or not) will "enter" some exchange. That doesn't mean that the person that sends it to the exchange is the thief!
