FBI seizure BTC-E anyone successfully petitioned to get their crypto back?

[Maidak]

This is a topic that should be having some discussion or pointers cuz i'm thinking on trying to tackle this myself head-on I had like 30+ bitcoins in that bitch when it just poofed. Liberty reserve was a hit btc-e was a nuke that about sunk my hardware miner business. In all honesty it was the kited paypal cash cards I got from shvbd that made me ghost but if I can get some insight somewhere in this community on recovering these bitcoins i'll gladly pay back 1:1 I really could use a win in life on the crypto stuff.. between being a single father an a degen who's made millions multiple times an has nothing to show for it other then experience makes me understand that suicide hotline being a real thing in a outside of the box perspective. Momma didnt raise no bitch however.

I'm not sure if the government has/had claims open for people to claim their coins from that exchange. I'd be surprised if they did to be honest.

Most likely they were just forfeited and sat there until maybe they were sent to the bitcoin strategic reserve recently.

Such claims must be made within a strict 90-day deadline. If you do not complete a legal claim within this period, recovering the item will be nearly impossible, especially if it is sold at auction or added to the strategic reserve. We are sorry for your loss.

Yes. While seizure of the bitcoin gives the government the ability to possess it temporarily, it doesn’t give them title to the property or the authority to dispose of it. That can occur only after a declaration of administrative forfeiture, a judgment of civil forfeiture, or a final order of forfeiture in a criminal case
