Bullshit 99% ppl used BTC-e because it was fast, reliable and trustworthy!

Also 99% where not smugglers, thieves but just miners and investors which used it to trade

Yeah , and 99% used mega upload to share linux versions.
Why would people use btc-e when nobody really knew who the owners are where are the servers or by who it is run.

Because they didn't ask for papers.
Or because they enjoyed the trollbox in which case they really deserve what is happening.

i think alot people used btc-e as a kind of a mixer for tax avoid and other stuff.. it was so easy to create an account, and there was almost no limits for deposit/withdrawal with btc, and it was always instant...
i dont think btc-e has been aware of this, but it doesnt make this whole case better.
btc-e has always felt shady.
its not just the bitcoin that is shady, it was the exchanger. like libertyreserve, egold felt shady.

either they open up again and fight for their arrested brother, or the rest of the admins will run.

no matter what happends, btc-e will go down in the history as the most shadiest exchanger and cryptoholder ever for me.
i dont think you have the slightest idea what your talking about ,infact you blatantly dont . i could go to facebook right now and find 5 shifty users ,does that make billions of other facebook users guilty of something ? ive been a member since 2012 and never lost a penny and even with the rumors you read on forums populated by people that spread things they hear rather than experiance (if you get my drift ). i never met a single user that genuinely lost anything .and btce admins havent ran off with our coins ,they have been accused of crimes by the most criminal organisation in the world .

You weren't around for Mt Gox soooo......

That was a shady place...I lost 6 btc....then 2 weeks later another 30 btc....I had changed my password to a 16 alphanumeric with caps & signs....still got ripped off........moved ALL btc out after that,no more trading Sad

I traced my coins to one of THEIR wallets!!!! They didn't care,they pilfered as they pleased...............

3 of my friends had the same thing happen.......

Just glad btc was only worth $6 back in 2011....................

BTC-e's chief moderator:

In fact, knowing not by hearsay (by a walk through the old "not local" and possible new comments), in order to restore at least an approximate existing infrastructure on the new site, it is necessary to take about a week (3 days at least to rest and get drunk), everything here will depend on the reliability and packing Backup data and communication channel with the new DC ...

plus do not forget that there are also "political" moments in the placement of such services ...

PySy that, when, how and where they hosted and hosted it is not for me to say ...
There is a good chance that the btc-e exchange will resume its work.

I advise you, dear readers, not to make hasty conclusions, conclusions and not to read jaundice. It is worthwhile to understand that the media are now rejoicing against the background of this event, tearing away large traffic and causing panic.

I would like to remind you about 2 hacking of the BTZ-E exchange a couple of years ago. The exchange paid all to a penny in the currency in which it was stolen.
Can you post the source of this message?
how they contact to him??

Definition of money from dictionary
something generally accepted as a medium of exchange, a measure of value,

They might not have needed the Patriot Act in this case. But they can, and will, when necessary.
We don't care about money as defined in the dictionary, in a legal matter we care about how it's defined by legal rulings.

Quote
Virtual currency (IRS ruling 2014) – “Virtual currency is a digital representation of value that functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and/or a store of value. In some environments, it operates like ‘real’ currency…but [virtual currency] does not have legal tender status in any jurisdiction.”

http://www.communitycurrencieslaw.org/legal-definitions/

You might want to start with the US constitution which defines money, and who can issue it.


I agree about that definition, I couldn't find any legal definition of it.

Monetary value (Cal. Fin. Code § 2003(m)) – “Monetary value” means a medium of exchange, whether or not redeemable in money.

Perhaps that one will fit?
or (ii) involving one or more monetary instruments

Regardless, the Patriot Act can still be used on people who don't deal with fiat directly then. In addition we can expect the law from 1956 to be extended to include cryptocurrencies.
I did some more digging which confirms that the AML law from 1956 can be used to catch money launderers who ONLY use bitcoin / crypto.

Silk Road 1, Ross Ulbricht was charged with exactly that:


Ulbricht was charged with money laundering, computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic narcotics,[23][27] and procuring murder.[24] The charge of procuring murder was removed from the indictment[28] although the evidence was factored into Ulbricht's sentence.[29] Ulbricht was convicted of all the remaining charges after a jury trial that concluded in February 2015.[30] He was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole on 29 May 2015.[31][32][33]

Your post has no logic at all... they are fined 100m which they can battle in court to get a lot less and logical fine, if they rob us they can only wait prison time!

Go to btc-e.com's profile page:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/btc-ecom-33012
In the Summary information, we see:
Age:   47

So 38-year-old Alexander Vinnik isn't btc-e's admin and this is just a rumor.

I don't think he has got any connection to BTC-e. Simultaneity two events made this rumor bold. Seems mtGOX's hacker is found finally but he has not any relation with BTE-e

Although details on the man’s alleged operation are still scarce, a Greek police official pointed out that the man was accused of running a platform that converted proceeds of online ransoms, identity theft, tax violations, and more into bitcoin.


Lol like he'd put down his real age..

Regardless, btc-e is being charged and the US DOJ seems to think he's involved: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/russian-national-and-bitcoin-exchange-charged-21-count-indictment-operating-alleged

Any updates about Alex's extradition?

Greek Media have gone ape regarding his arrest.

Reporter

"The authorities arrested the head of a Criminal organization"

 "He received cash from illegal activities in his accounts which he converted to Bitcoin"


"The police had to arrest him with his smartphone functioning, as he was controlling the business from itGrin


no mention of BTC-E anywhere

BTW most of my fellow Greeks think Bitcoin is an American kind of Souvlaki or something


Mobile phone == BTC-e server
