Remember what happened with the Bitcoin from Silk Road. The owner of that site was also accused of money laundering, all Bitcoin was seized by the US government and later auctioned off. Does not look good, I really don't see why the people behind the site would endanger themselves further by putting the site back online with the US government on your tail you're just asking to be found and locked up. Even if they get it back up people will withdraw everything. I'm sorry for people that lost funds, I spent many days in the trollbox myself.
Why the hell are you comparing btce to silk road? Unbelievable you Americans. Are you really believing the media outlet controlled by fiat obsessed billionaire type individuals?
You can only compare it to bitfinex and bitstamp. Because this is what btce is, an EXCHANGE and 90% of Russians are using btce and not some European website. So, referring to those media, all Russians are hackers, correct?
The media always jumping on some meta statements off a site (ap, reuters) because they don't know better and do not care but it was NOT a money laundering website. Why trading and exchanging bitcoin must be called money laundering now? And what does it mean for bitstamp or bitfinex? They have a license and it is not money laundering anymore. A joke, correct?
Vinnik is
accused and not found guilty at this time, an individual person
may have used btce to launder money and btce as an entity is only guilty - in the USA point of view - for not implementing their rules of KYC. This is the only thing btce is
guilty of, if we consider the USA point of view as the global meta law all have to follow.
So, my conclusion, a money printing entity accused of breaking USA AML/KYC rules will be of course back online, because they either pay the fine, implement the bully's rules or just simply ignore them.
