Secretly I just hope BTC-E will go down sometime, it's the only way to learn people to not trust such websites, mtgox didn't seem enough...
Agree, its shady website. Good for early Bitcoin but its time is coming to an end.

2 months and no money from BTCe. They are the next gox ppl. At least the lawyer is on it. If you want his contact let me know.
They are now trying to dick the lawyer about but he has ways of making them sort this. Apparently very lawful ways. So my advice. Get a good lawyer and sort it. Otherwise BTC will steal your funds.

Dont say I did not warn you.

What is the excuse they use for not processing your transaction? Or they simply don't respond to your support ticket?

They simply dont respond. They make a set of questions - which you answer. They then come up with another question and play games. All they are interested is covering their asses while they rob you. They steal probably 10k GBP every week. Thats good business for them. If 50 people are happy and one guy gets scammed each week, they find it funny. And they must be owned and operated by Mayzus Financial. It looks no other way and then they hide behind Mayzus. As they are currently refusing to give BTCe details without police being involved - when the lawyer is also an officer of the court and crown law system in the UK. They are selective Russian scammers.

Also, the info on COINDESK is wrong. The journalists do such a great job that the FCA number for Mayzus is not even valid. All they have is a payment service FCA number which is not the same as the one advertised on COINDESK article. I think COINDESK are dodgy manipulators too.
Taking back handers.


As far as is discoverable, these guys may be a bunch of Bulgarians and what are you going to do about that with lawyers?
Unfortunately, your funds are at their mercy.
In CoinDesk's defense, last year enough of us made a stink that they put out an article wondering why BTC-e were rumored to be screwing folks.
Eventually they responded, although semi-anonymously

I was going to start using BTC-e but these kind of threads scare me Undecided Which is the best exchange at the moment?
depending on where you live
but coinbase, bitstamp, kraken, bitcoin.de... Those ones I would trust
Of course that are the legal ones, where you need to prove your identity and address and stuff but it's totally worth it! Don't use btc-e for deposits/withdrawals of fiat money (if a transaction got stuck you have a problem), trading with cryptocurrencies is fine i guess but never let them there but I think that counts for every exchange
always use your own wallet

Thanks, very helpful Smiley I'll check them out and yes, seen the extensive verification process most bitcoin exchange sites seem to have but it's understandable.

I played some buy low/sell high game last year when the btc price hit 1000-1200$.

I wagered +5000$ and got back all of it without a problem. I am sure they will solve your problem. They look serious enough to me.

Pro tip: Always enable 2FA.

I never used them that much. Only to buy LTC and then started using a good alt place from start. But after i got hacked and bitstamp acc was emptied I felt safer on BTCe as I did not lose funds there. Until, contacting support for my safety that is. lol wankers is the word that comes into my mind.

You should not have to constantly guard against some thief or scam artist. We all know fatty mark stole all the coins on mtgox. Or maybe some ghost ate funds from the bank.

But an internal body to self regulate BTC businesses is the answer because the financial authorities are kind of a mafia in all truth - protecting the banking cartel while sweetening people with rhetoric.

click on 'show ratings', review their trust settings, add yours to the mix. This has been going on for a long time.

Ouch that's a lot to lose, never had any problems with BTCe but I have heard their support isn't too great.

Not sure if you could reverse the payment?

have you ever received your money? it is now 1 month after your last post

It probably gonna take a bit longer than that, especially if legal actions are involved.
As a comparison, OP received his money 2.5 months after the transaction completed.
