The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

... this combined with the fact there is no twitter update since yesterday evening... I really hope I'm wrong and there's no relation between one and the other  LE Not feeling very comfortable as yesterday like just about 30 mins before the 502 I was sending a SEPA to fund some fiat into my account. And now I have just paid 75 euros fee for a request for cancellation for the transaction. Just hope it works and manage return the fiat back to the bank. Since btc-e main page have been changed and replaced with twitter frame I believe that cops have not seized btc-e servers because otherwise cops would just shut it down or maybe just put police notice. MT4 servers still online, logging disabled, market watch frozen at 04:21:22 |

Putin and his cronies ...decided to get some BTC  |
Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

I remember about a month ago that tradesatoshi.com was offline for almost a week. I think it was six days to be exact. Hopefully BTC-e won't be offline nowhere near that long.
Every time something like this happens it hurts the credibility of the exchanges, and all of the exchanges suffer for it.

 ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek police arrested a Russian man suspected of running a money laundering operation involving turning $4 billion from illicit business activities into the digital currency bitcoin, they said on Wednesday. Police did not name the 38-year-old, who was arrested in the northern Greek region of Chalkidiki on Monday on a U.S. warrant. He is suspected of heading a criminal organization since 2011 that "owns, operates and manages one of the world's leading e-crime websites", police said in a statement. The Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow said it had no information on the case. Bitcoin was the first digital currency to successfully use cryptography to keep transactions secure and hidden, making traditional financial regulation difficult if not impossible. Reporting by Karolina Tagaris in Athens and Jack Stubbs in Moscow; Editing by Louise Ireland Everything seems to match up unfortunately. Russian - check Ran the site since 2011 - check Exchanging funds into bitcoin - check One of the worlds leading "e-crime" website - check BTC-E went down same day as arrest - check Sad day if true. BTC-E was great. I am pro anonymity and btc-e provided that. It looks like the owner may be paying a hefty price in the end. |

Shutdown is better than hacked though, right?
At least we can have hope of seeing our coins again. Maybe..

Not necessarily. I'd rather them be hacked for 2-3k BTC than shut down by the US government. It can become a long and difficult battle to get any money back from "one of the world's leading e-crime websites". |

Doesn't look good guys. One article mentions Alex Vinnik as the guy arrested. According to unknown twitter sources he is a founder of btc-e. Also this happened in Cyprus. https://twitter.com/fahmyeu/status/890201887978475520 |

Why sould BTC-E be the worlds leading e-crime website Because USA has made it a crime to exchange money without license or anonymously. In their eyes this is hardcore criminal behavior deserving of decades or even life in prison. USA's law applies in all countries in the world including any other planets such as Mars, Pluto etc. The only way to protect yourself against the US is if you are in a country that is enemy of the US and will not extradite you, however they can still use drones to kill you. |

I think that if the US government shut down BTC-e that the government would have already put a placeholder page on BTC-e's website.

The website is now showing twitter updates guys.
If it was shutdown by government, it wouldn't even show that message.
BTC-e is coming back!

Last update was 18 hours ago. While there's still hope (especially since there is no message about the site being seized yet as mentioned above), it could be that this maintenance message is automated. If we start getting new updates however, then it will look good. Right now, not so much. |
