It would be a huge hit to the alt coin world if btc-e was shut down.

Personally I'm hesistant to leave any coins on any exchange after losing my deposits to Ukyo and Bitfunder / WeExchange.

What I don't understand is, why don't these big exchanges run them from countries without such ..... stringent rules? They could have their physical infrastructure in Cambodia or the Fiji Islands or Liberia, run it remotely from Belarus (or some place with better beaches) and then not have to worry as much about being whimsically shut down by the majority of the planet's countries which have their financial policy dictated to them by the Federal Reserve.

That's exactly what btc-e does. servers on cyprus, legal entity elsewhere, admins russian. Not falling under a single jurisdiction much

What if it was real and they are now investigating.. They just made it appear like the site was hacked so people would not take their money out Cheesy

banned but not broken

I went back to fiat, so I feel quite comfortable setting myself up at stamp. I started using BTC-E because of LTC, but LTC doesn't seem very attractive at the moment. Too unstable and the BTC-E LTC market keeps getting mauled by this person or group with 2mil.$+ buy/sell walls. I have my doubts, that they are the same people who run BTC-E, since it's hard to believe that any outsider would trust a sum this big to the hands of an a company with this transparency level.
Anyway.. it makes the investment unattractive, if you know that a single entity has so much control. So, guys, I would recommend more subtlety rather then creating walls so out of proportion.

So the conclusion is ?

It was either a Hoax or BTC-e bribe the Russian official who was investigating them. Grin

BTC-e is business as normal. No one is investigating them at this moment in time.

looks like time to sell my coins, BTC getting too dangerous...

Ooh Did you sell did you sell?

Ah, silly you, was all just a hoax. Don't worry, you can buy them back $10 cheaper than you sold yesterday...or even wait a few more days and get them even cheaper etc.

This is the news spreading twitter, I'm not sure if it is fud but apparently BTC-e is under investigation... looks serious enough:

http://litecoinnews.org/possibly-btc-e-legal-troubles/

It's Russia. They'll just pay few dollars to few ppl and everything will be fine.

+1, there is a upside in corruption after all, some of us won't have to change the exchange

This is fake news so it rightly belongs to the proudhon's thread. Has been removed from the original joomla site in minutes. You people are too gullible.

I think the word to use is not gullible. But cautious.

interesting: not terrorists or any political group hacked the site, but guys that want to bring the price down to buy cheap.
