I personally lost around $10,000 USD with btc-e.
My account funds were stolen right after contacting support with account details.
I contacted them to say that I could not transfer funds out of my account, because my email had changed.
Yet, someone else was able to remove my funds.
I have recently talked with another member who believed that support had been breached.
Be weary.
wow, that is not good to hear. How long have you had the dispute, and is it finalised or are they trying to do something about it?
