I think it's real. Go to their main thread in Bitcointalk and you'll see some comments confirming successful withdrawal (55%).

and we've got more than 55%
BTC-e made it, everything they promised, with style!
Thanks guys!
BTC-E is back online. I just got my withdraw.
The fudsters who's been spewing out junk here during these hard times better take a long, deep look in the mirror. You know who you are.
oh and...
I'll say it again, BTC-E deserves mad respect and support. They are champions in this space.
