Topic: BTC-e account speculation thread (Read 1833 times)

Well, there is another thing that a lot people here seem to ignore now there are signs that this exchange will relaunch. Important to note are the allegations of them being involved in the massive MtGox theft back in the days. I don't believe the US will just leave the freshly relaunched exchange alone without trying to shut that one down as well. From that point the question will not be will they come back, but how long they will remain operational. I have 1 BTC stuck in there, and if offered the chance, I'll immediately withdraw my 0.55 BTC and from there think about what my plan will be with the remaining '0.45 BTC' in BTCT.

And if they do recover and reestablish themselves as an exchange, trust will be the operative word. Gaining it will require an enormous effort to fight the stigma of being labeled a rogue exchange and the disdainful way they treated customers. They were known for showing contempt to their customers, for making it difficult for their customers to access their money, for being dishonest... well, evil begets karma. Scammers on this forum seem to forget that.

The launch of the service will take place in 3 stages.

At the first stage, the old company (with which you have signed an offer contract) will prepare and transfer to the new company digital personal data of users, in full compliance with the European directives on personal data and in compliance with European legislation in this field.

Terms of transfer until 15.09.2017

In the second stage, the licensed financial investment company, assumes the task of restructuring the digital assets of the new company and registering digital data of users at home.

In the third stage, the licensed financial investment company will audit and register personal data in accordance with AML laws and KYC identification procedures.

In the future, this financial company will operate under its financial license both digital and monetary data.

In parallel with the legal issue of restructuring, users will be given the opportunity to check the integrity of the digital balance in the user's account, and users will be able to make changes in the security of the account. For chat and support, chat will be available.

For these purposes, the service will be launched on the old domain (btc-e.nz). You will be able to log in and check your balance before recounting.

Term before 02.09.2017

Since there is a risk of third-party access to account accounts and to protect users' digital balances, it is highly recommended that you update the security and identification settings. Instructions for these actions will be duplicated by a separate news item.

The helpdesk system will be operated by the licensed financial company after the start of the digital data transfer procedure. After starting the service from the financial company and in case you have difficulties with entering the account or there are inaccuracies in the balance, you can get help and answers through the ticket system.

The following information update will be released on 01/09/2017

If you have any questions we are ready to answer them.

How will the balances be recalculated?
This information will be published in the next updates.

What is the domain for the new service and what is the financial company?
This information will be published before September 15, 2017

I too believe that there is still some light at the end of the tunnel. I however don't see any point into them trying to relaunch in whatever form or shape, where they now suddenly force people to verify themselves -- this doesn't make any sense to me.

I add more value to them just setting up a temporary site where people can log into, and then can start withdrawing whatever they are being offered to withdraw (obviously hinting at the crypto btc-e still has access to). No one with a functioning set of brains will ever return to such an exchange.

Hey guys.

So I've been inactive on BTC-E for like 2 months or so and I just learned it's been shut down by FBI?  WTF?  I had 0.46BTC there ($2k).  So are they going to refund us our bitcoins?  I earned them fair and square (started from 2013).  I'm considering going to FBI office or call them/email them.  What should I do?
 

this is a very good news for investors. It is also a joy for me. but only 55% but more is to lose everything. I will withdraw it and go through other exchanges

First prove how Bitfinex has repaid every last one of its debts in their token scheme. The repayment finished so fast that its doubtful they did it without taking a loan from an outside source.

Oh... could work if the escrow is not going to rob you.

People who just have crypto and no FIAT may better send just a fake ID and withdraw themselves

You forgot ...

c) What are the chances that the actual balances in the account you bought are what you expect?
I sell you my account loaded with 3BTC , for just 0.5 BTC, a great deal uh? ... but when you login you realize that balance is 0

Interesting thread. I completely forgot about the possibility of a BTC-e account market emerging, but it looks like that's going to happen one way or another.

Once the first withdrawals have been confirmed my guess would 70-80% of the 55% that can be withdrawn instantly + maybe 20% for the BTE tokens. Which would put BTC-e accounts at 47.5% - 53.0% of their original paper value. Of course the main assessments a prospect buyer would need to make is a) What are the legal risks of taking funds from a possibly illegal source and b) What are the chances of BTC-e being able to fullfill the remaining 45% within the foreseeable future.

Either way, good luck everyone. I was lucky enough to withdraw what little I had kept on BTC-e a couple of months ago.

Well, if the site relaunches (or balances are transferred to a "new" re-branded exchange), accounts can be logged into and thus escrowed. The balances can be verified by the escrow, who can transmit login credentials to the buyer.
