Topic: BTC-e hacked ?? - page 6. (Read 199749 times)

Btce answering to "verification" question.

DNS = Donetsk Republic (in the Ukraine)
torus = TOR

anyone who doesn't believe btc-e wasn't the first port of call for coin thieves and hackers is a certifiable moron. after mixing it was still the most sensible place to go.

which also means that many coins on there are the spoils of crime.

This is crypto. I'd much rather take a gamble on various altcoins with decent charts and fundamentals, for a shot at a 10x-20x whale trade. Given everything that's happened, half-price doesn't seem like nearly good enough of a deal. Even if you assume that they will remain operational for the foreseeable future, even the site admins themselves (on the forums after the takedown) said that the tokens would likely take 1-2 years to redeem. That's a lifetime in crypto.

Only people with small amounts are likely to cash out their tokens at current lower levels. If it's thousands of dollars that you will be gaining by just having patience, you'll see that these people will patiently wait for their time to come. I strongly believe that the token market is heavily being bought up by BTC-E in order to not pay out in full eventually. At some point when they bought up the far majority of all the tokens in existence at far lower levels, they will happily act like they are keeping their word by buying back the remaining tokens. It's a 'game' that you should look through, and not let yourself get distracted from your end goal. The only thing people depend on, as you also pointed out, is that they remain operational.

I have about 520-530$ before

now i have abotu 300$ and 2xx in usd token


 how can i buy btc/eth/ltc by usdtoken

I guess I'm glad I rode it out and decided not to take the 45% cut two weeks ago.

I think they did a good job given the circumstances!

If you _really_ trust them, you can buy a bunch of BTC on any other site, transfer it to wex and buy tokens for it, effectively doubling your BTC. But it does feel like quite the gamble though.

Tokens are sold at 0.55:ish now because people are willing to get 55% of their fund out now instead of waiting and get 100%. If you don't sell your tokens you will get 100% of their value back (assuming the site doesn't go belly up before then).

So if you're willing to wait, you'll be at 100%.

It's about 83% back, not 55%.

61.79% is in crypto coins. 38.21% is tokens. Tokens are about 0.55 of worth.
So, 0.55 * 38.21% + 61.79% = 82.81% of the funds has returned.

I noticed BTC Tokens got 5% bump in their worth today. They plan later on to make them 1:1 with BTC? Would that be a good idea to short term invest in them then?

Could you please post the header of this e-mail?

This seems to be an obvious attempt at e-mail spoofing. You can even use certain sites (for example, https://emkei.cz) to send e-mails which look like they have been sent from a certain legit e-mail account (say, [email protected]), but if you look at the source code, you will see that they are actually sent from somewhere else. The page mentioned in the body of this e-mail (https://wex.nz/page/1) is a valid page leading to a user agreement, and it is evidently mentioned to give more credit to this whole attempt

is advcash btce? it looks to me like it is a bit weird that wex launched with advcash integration from day 1.

I think you will find there are more people in the world concerned about the "toxic heritage" of US government departments, like the DoJ and the FBI, with there unsubstantiated smear campaigns which you have obviously fallen for.

I for one don't believe the exaggerated claims of stolen Gox funds and money laundering for a minute. The fact that the DoJ press release started with the words "Russian national" instead of some facts, clearly demonstrated the whole exercise was political, probably arranged by the Democrats or Neocons.

It's very clear by now that they intend to operate as if nothing happened. BTC-e was operated by Always Efficient LLP, which is/was registered in and incorporated in England. So WEX is trying to maintain that, somehow, only the customer base was bought by the new exchange, despite holding their payable account obligations (fiat, crypto and now debt tokens from BTC-e). The coins that were used to back current accounts on WEX -- where did they come from, if not BTC-e? Thin air?

Another scam email (99% sure):

Note, it looks similar to real announcement, but contains some fishy stuff and I closed my account anyway so I don't think I should be getting their messages.

the toxic heritage is there with every single coin they return to people. they can't avoid it. that's why i find it a little strange they're trying to say they're a brand new operation.

and if they've managed to return all crypto that must mean a lot of that crypto is still tainted by crime.

nothing's changed other than losing the fiat so perhaps there's still a target on them.

One probably could cash out btc-e cash codes on this totally not related new website?
Any proximity to former toxic heritage shall be avoided, or gov will be quick in shutting this down, again. The danger looking rather solid to the naked eye.

what does this part mean? what's the relationship between btc-e and this always efficient company? the set up seems a little weird to me. i still can't figure out whether they intend to be fully operational as if nothing happened.

So when are they starting to cash the tokens out? Just about to buy some BTCET for slightly over half the nominal as some ppl cashed them out for coins right away (and probably still made some profit of the value the coins got while BTC-E was down). So I'm like looking forward to get the 80% margin?

He's licking his bollox.
