BTC-e hacked ??

[jubalix]

I stay ANON

Well, the last guy who said this is charged with laundering $4 billion. So I doubt this is a good start. 

Yeah good point... I am undecided the best way to do this.

I think this is how parents feel if their children get kidnapped and they dont know if they are dead or not.

Cmon btce, just post something on twitter that you are not coming back. This would be a nice end to that drama.

So far every story I have seen about this in the media just regurgitates the US government line that everyone using BTC-e was a criminal.  I think it might be helpful if one of the larger media outlets were to print a story about how many innocent people who have not only nothing to do with crime, but nothing even to do with the US, basically just had their cryptocurrency stolen by US authorities.  Right now far too many people already think that only criminals have anything to do with bitcoin.  The narrative of this story is basically right in line with the ongoing propaganda about bitcoin.  But the fact is that millions has been stolen from innocent people here and the thieves are going around patting themselves on the back and claiming to be the good guys.  Maybe we should be approaching media outlets with the truth.

Media outlets controlled by fiat obsessed US entities, yeah right, of course you are not a criminal. The best thing is, btce was/is the exchange where - my bet - mostly all Russians were going to. So basically, USA is robbing Russia. However, no source confirmed any freezing of bank account or seizing of assets/wallets, so there is still a high chance that USA does not have any coin whatsoever.

I'm with you. But where do we start? We are just some small fish here.

TBH, I never expected this. I have known dozens of traders on BTC-E over the years -- I never thought of them as a "money laundering" operation but rather a legitimate exchange! Basically the only option for MT4, PAMM and the best API of any exchange around!

Due to recent circumstances around 1broker shutting down their BTCUSD market and Polo services being unreliable, I had more at risk on BTC-E than I would have otherwise. This will completely crush me.

Is it just me still getting the Cloudfare Error 522?

I was pondering emailing this guy: https://arstechnica.com/author/timlee/
He wrote the story about it on ars. Not that arstechnica is that large of a media outlet but somewhere to start...

Same here. I was trading on there as I considered it the most stable, quickest and most reliable service vs the others. So if the US seizes the funds from it, they can consider it as an upfront payment for my taxes for the next 5 years and go F themselves.

It is in no way, shape or form, used differently than any other stock exchange with the scumbags laundering money through etrade, TD ameritrade, scott trade, etc.. using shell companies and pink sheets.

Look,not trying to rub anyone,BUT......you NEVER keep more than you can lose on ANY exchange,online wallet or anywhere besides YOUR personal wallet on your PC 

This has been common knowledge for YEARS.........sorry some folks lost sizeable amounts but the warnings have been mentioned many times.

I used BTC-E myself for the last 6 months,they allowed ANY amount of eth to be deposited where Polo would only allow a full eth coin deposit....no fractions at all.

But I traded my eth for btc & got out ASAP 

I hope BTC-E comes back,cause frankly Polo is the only exchange left that trades eth for btc easily........& I like choices

I keep seeing this very basic idea, while it makes sense as far as keeping your coins safe, if everyone followed it there would be no trading what so ever on exchanges.

Thanks, now I really learnt my lesson. The $200k I lost is very well spent on that lesson, thanks again. Now you feeld good? I really hope so.

dude, this JUST KEEPS HAPPENING over and over and over again

when you got involved in BTC and invested 200 fucking large did you even bother to look into the history?


ffs

[Sam-Os]

People need to start using bitshares decentralized exchange or any decentralized exchange that can be created on Ether or NEO or whatever. Exchanges like BTC-e, should not be used for day trading but only cashing out for wire deposits/paypal etc...not even sure that would change anything really though. How much money will have to be lost before people used the decentralized exchanges.

GTFO!
I just moved LTC for quick trade as I had thiked its best/fastest way to do it... and 300K is gone!!! (it was on exchange for full 3 days in past 2+ years in total!) you tell me to look in history, gox took rest 60BTC??

Cainbase sad my state is not supported, bitstamp had low volume for that kind of trade, okcoin banned internacinal ppl as me, so where di I go wrong!!!!!!!!
On poloniex I wait 90 days for level 3!

Then ppl say keep it offline, FFS it was 99.4% offline in my HW wallet and it happened!!

For anyone who say we are criminals and money washers!!! I say FUCK YOU!, mods if del better kill me!

I am everywhere AML/KYC verified! never cashed out a dime from crypto, never loundered a dime!!!!!! 5 years mining 24h all the shit coins and trading, whole my life gone!

[coinking17]

Yeah I feel sorry for everyone that has coins/fiat frozen with BTC-e now who are innocent traders like myself. BTC-e was quick, had great volume and was relatively hassle free well from my experience anyway. I'm just glad even though mine is not an inconsequential amount of coins it was not my life savings rather just an investment to play around with on the side. That doesn't mean this doesn't sting because it still does though.

Its not exactly condusive to making quick, good trades and pouncing on market fluctuations by having coins stored offline etc so I can fully understand why people store alot on exchanges and as mentioned the volume would be way lower.

So what recourse do we have here to try and recover our frozen coins/fiat. Any law experts want to weigh in? Still don't understand how they can legally just tar everyone from any country with the same brush and confiscate all coins/fiat.

[NootropicPlace]

$200,000 in BTC-E as well.. If our money is stolen by US gov that is so f'ing criminal.. Fingers crossed BTC-E will come thru like they always have in times of crisis. I have faith, but I may be biased..
