I, like all ppl here, is losting btc/funding more or less from BTC-E now( 150K $ ). Someone like me are innocent of criminal, we just buy and sell for investment.

Actually, I used btc-e since 2014, never think it would shut down like today. Last month I deposited 150K to BTC-E, and waited to buy at the lower price.  However, when I want to buy/sell 4 days ago, I realized that some bad thing happen. But I still think BTC-E will handle since i used some years.

I still have hope.

I still have to live in real life and do what I should do.


^ 150K damn - That is quite unfortunate I feel for you. I went through a lot with them in their early days but stopped using them once the other exchanges started to hit.. Hope you recover from this.

I think people might be misunderstanding all that is

happening.  I don't think this has happened in any of

the crypto exchanges until now but people seem to

be taking the news as if the owners ran off with the

money or the exchange went insolvent or the cold

storage wallets were hacked which isn't the case this

 time -  that's when for sure you know you lost

money. This is about a legal issue and how the site

was used by criminals around the world without the

owners trying to prevent it or laying out better

security. The FBI decided to arrest the owner

because they were not being more responsible about

  letting criminal activity take place on the exchange.

 The media and law enforcement made management

 look worse the what they are because some people

were using there site as a gateway for illicit activity.

I've been using BTCe since early 2013 and know

management is better than what they are saying.

 That's my opinion. But as for the money I think we

should be able to withdraw sometime in the near

future but it might be weeks or months away.

Hopefully we are able to withdraw the money stored in that exchange,this is the problem we have to encounter in the crypto platform because we never know whether they are doing legitimate business or not,it is really a sad thing to digest these things.
I recommend you should forget this money if still want have happy when working =)). In past time FBI have been doing this with LR and the holder, exchanger this coin loss old their money. So, the history will repeat and all money of user in BTC-e can't refund Tongue

As much as we want to give people who have funds in BTC-e a encouragement or hope that their money can be refunded, it is not. Forget it, there is a ongoing case against the owner and I'm sure the authorities will freeze all the funds in their server. So I doubt that your funds will be ever refunded to you. And BTC-e will not going back online any time soon. So just drop the idea. This is another lessons learned for those people who have funds in a exchange. It is not safe to sit your coins their. How many times do we need to tell people about it? You should learn it from the Mt. Gox heist. Just put money that you can afford to an exchange and just put some for trading purposes only.

Hi, Lost 22  BTC and 5 K USD sitting there... When government arrest of what they designed criminals and create more victims in the process...  Roll Eyes

The need of decentralized exchanges and privacy technologies such as Confidential Transactions and CoinJoin is urgent not that stupid blocksize increase !

I am with that. The next milestones should go along that, and bitcoin is behind shedule so far.

Partially it's our own fault for beeing so focused on sites and reputation. Just there isn't any reliable measure scale for reputation at all, as seen interference from third parties can twart all of that anyway. Old exchange, long term survivor, and now gone.

The U.S government is literally the biggest crime organization I have ever seen on my life. I'm afraid that there will be no refunds at this point and the 5-10 days maintenance crap they was spreading was only to gain some time and now and the domain has been seized and BTC-E not twitting about it makes me think that they are gone. Hopefully, this will teach people (again) to not store their funds on exchanges.

What is interesting is fact that Wikipedia article about BTC-e is already updated. It is a great way for people who like to get consolidated information of what happened.
The most important part: "The BTC-e website is offline since 25 July 2017, following the arrest of BTC-e operator Alexander Vinnik. Vinnik was arrested in Greece."

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/6q73yq/btce_seized_by_us_government/


From those who try to enter BTC-E website from USA IP you can see  page that site is seized by US government  Cheesy

From europe IP still maintaince site or untrasted connection page.


Its nonsense I never saw something like that before, they seized website of 3rd country, they have power to do that and noone can stop them from world crime.


Did you imagine if USA seize China exchanges like OKCoin or Huobi??? Its sound unrealisticly.

Why then they sized BTC-E? Which operated from Europe.

Now all that being said, the US has no right to take down a foreign exchange for not following US AML/KYC laws because well, it's not an American exchange.(c) 2016cubs


Its bullshit and now we have a new victims from not the hackers, but from US states government!

I got the same email as CryptoBit1 quoted except it contained an address to send the 0.017 to.  I've had an account at btc-e for a few years but didn't use it much until recently a little bit.  I was just logging in the day the "maintenance" started to withdraw the 0.11 BTC I had there.  Sad

Anyway, I just got that fake email from "BTC-E Clients Support" this morning.  It's obviously a scam, but I'm curious as to how they got my email.

BTC-e shit is down     LOL  

I warned about BTC-e(and many like them) since years ago... Smiley    

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-greece-russia-arrest-idUSKBN1AB1OP

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-greece-russia-arrest-suspect-idUSKBN1AB1VR


BTC value will drop for sure  Smiley

Bitcoin price has gone up since the BTC-e news. I can't believe it. I thought it would go down too, but apparently not.

I still think it crashes hard down to $1,000 over the long term. This level of growth is simply unsustainable.
