Well by posting in the Gambling section you did the right thing because this really does sound like a gamble in getting anything back from BTCe.

However 2x is not worth the risk. Maybe 5-10x or so, since most likely that money is gone forever.

As BTC-E has been closing down, and the owners is suspected to be connected to the big mtgox theft, I  don't see how this topic remains relevant.

Anyway , BTC-E is claiming that they are only on a maintenance mode, which is pretty hard to believe, because they say it would take them 5-10 to return to usual operations.

I agree, this is really a big gamble. The first gamble is believing op if he does have those codes. Then the second one is whether indeed BTC-E will even come back. By the looks of it these guys just turned into a scam and likely there is a bigger chances you will not get that $10,000 OP is promising. If I would take this "bet" I would just do a 1:10 kind of odds for this.

As you say, having those codes it sounds more than odd and very hard to believe.
BTC-e didn't end up scam though, in the well-known sense of the word as robbing or gone with people's money but for "laundring"/ransomware money and because Alexander Vinnik is suspicion for the MtGox case, having already a warrant about it in US.

As far as i know, that doesn't mean necessarily the closing of "his" company...Correct me though if i am wrong about it.
So maybe the odds for this..."bet", is kind different...

IMHO
it is the very same as a roll of the dice

Yeah seems more of like a 5% or less chance of actually getting your money back now that is seized by the US government. A few hours ago they even started to transfer all the ETH hotwallet to their own.

People "might" get their money back but not anytime soon since apparently most of it belongs to MtGox

Afaik US government has only seized the domain/server, no one knows who's transferring all those eth/ltc.
i would give a pass to op's offer/bet lol, with all those funds being moved, it's highly unlikely for them to come back online(but i hope they do!).

You do not need to believe in that because I will send money as a security measure to the escrow as well.

Just will post here an official topic by BTC-E:

At the moment, part of the service facility is arrested by the FBI.

BTW respected escrow SebastianJu has reviewed the steps and has expressed his interested in providing his services for this deal.

As for 31 July, the deal is still actual.

and some FUD for you:

Do not miss a chance, when everything is clear with the future of money on BTC-E, the deal will be gone!

Basically from the latest BTC-e statement they had half of their funds seized and frozen. And to withdraw the rest of the funds people need to go by extensive KYC procedures.

So your 2X gain isn't a good deal anymore since nobody even if they KYC their info, wait like 1 year-2 year will they ever get their full amount back.

I don't think they're tokens will be worth anything. Because this BTC-e mess is much worse than what happened to Bitfinex.
