Not really. I was able to withdraw from btce many minutes after the price spiked to 40s.
You are like the guy who says riots are good because he got a free TV. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Sure some withdraws may have made it through before the attacker emptied the hot wallet but 99% of people who tried to capitalize on $40 BTC are stuck with worthless $40 IOUs. You may have lucked out but that doesn't mean a massive amount of economic damage didn't occur. Plus I am pissed because I had 0.0087382 BTC stuck there from months ago because it was below the withdraw limit. DAMN YOU HACKER!

No, that is first few. Waiting for some confirms. 1 confirm on the withdraws. Still 20 bid for 13.45, but able to sleep now. If it is true that there is no cold wallet, you should definitely get all BTC back (as long as there was no fractional reserve). There shouldn't be a shortage of BTC because none was hacked in. USD, on the other hand, was injected. It's a race to sell the USD as fast as possible now. OMG... I had 180 Bitcoins there... Jesus...
My latest withdraw at btc-e webpage says "confirmed", but nothing reached my wallet yet.
40 Bitcoins was "sold" there... And 140 Bitcoins are stucked at some point there... In Russia... Damn!
Jesus no, please no... Please... no... Oh God... lol My documentation: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40889.msg1066779#msg1066779I have screenshots... To remember... Damn... :-/ Your bitcoin, as long as you withdraw it, should still arrive. Good luck. Unfortunately, you might have to write off your USD, or sell it at a massive loss. There is no way BTC-E has enough to pay out the USD.

Here are my suggestions for all victims.
1. Sell ALL USD immediately. There is almost certainly not enough USD to pay out. 2. Withdraw ALL BTC immediately. Unless fractional reserve was employed, there should be enough. No BTC was reported to have injected, so this may be your only option of financial recovery. 3. Change passwords for other websites immediately. The database is likely to leak, if a SQL injection was the culprit.
Best of luck to all victims.

I do not want withdraw "fake USD" from BTC-e... I will not touch that USD. I just want, at least, those 140 BTC (total is 180 I had there for sure), withdraw still "pending" (i.e. not reached my wallet)... :-/ Good luck for those that feel a bit lost now... :-P This is less worse than the "life with the government and banks"... lol

1. Sell ALL USD immediately. There is almost certainly not enough USD to pay out. How? By buying BTC at $45? 2. Withdraw ALL BTC immediately. Unless fractional reserve was employed, there should be enough. No BTC was reported to have injected, so this may be your only option of financial recovery. I agree that people should do this, but it's not going to work. The exchange has no rational justification for fully reimbursing bitcoin holders while screwing over usd holders. 3. Change passwords for other websites immediately. The database is likely to leak, if a SQL injection was the culprit. Definitely. Better safe than sorry.

Unless they had a chunk of BTC in cold storage. Then there won't be enough to withdraw.

- BTC-E used fractional reserve.
- BTC-E had a cold wallet.
- BTC-E wakes up and discovers the hack.
I strongly suggest you discard the USD by selling it, while it is still worth ~1/5 of its actual value. The 40 BTC that is missing has been converted to USD, most likely. You can still retrieve some of that value from it. 1. Sell ALL USD immediately. There is almost certainly not enough USD to pay out. How? By buying BTC at $45? 2. Withdraw ALL BTC immediately. Unless fractional reserve was employed, there should be enough. No BTC was reported to have injected, so this may be your only option of financial recovery.

This is a massive write-off, but it is the only option. 2. Unless the exchange takes action, the BTC withdrawals should be fully covered and automatic (barring the probability of a cold wallet, but given BTC-E's past security history.
