Update 6! 14.08.2017 We have read a feedback from the community, about our proposal, how to get out of the situation. We decided to revise this decision in favor of community opinions.
We believe that the following, is fair for both, holders of crypto-currency and holders of fiat funds:
For each currency, a recalculation will be made, for each individual account available assets.
At the moment 55% of funds are available, so 55% will be returned for all currencies, and 45% will be converted to a every currency in a tokens.
All tokens will be traded on an exchange basis.
You will be able to trade tokens at any price, but no more than their beginning value. From our side we pledge to buy every tokens from you, for it's beginning value.
You will be able to sell your tokens to other users or wait and when we buy them for it's beginning value.
(editor's note) beginning value: 1 btcT = 1 btc . 1usdT = 1 usd
An example: If you had 1 BTC on an exchange. You will receive 0.55 BTC and 0.45 btcT. 0.55 BTC you will be able to withdraw immediately. The remaining 0.45 BTCT you can either exchange for BTC at market price, or wait until we will bought it from you.

Update 5! IMPORTANT! 09.08.2017 How we see solving problems with arrested fiat funds:
1. In previos two weeks we were engaged in battle for your funds, we were able to gain control of about 55% of total funds (depends on the rate). Remaining 45% of funds continue to be arrested, the most part in fiat. We believe that arrested amount of means will decrease in course of time.
2. We see following steps to recover from the current situation:
2.1. We can't to continue operating under brand of the BTC-e exchange, due to unresolved issues from the Office of Financial Crimes of the US Treasury.
2.2. At the moment we are negotiating with a group of investors (an investment company). With includes, selling of the brand(piece or full unknown. editors note), prompt of service and repaying of the current customers debts.
Below are described in details , the process of repayment of customers debt.
2.3. The next step after we transfer all balance sheets and databases to the investment company, customer account balances will be recalculated.
2.4. This recalculation procedure will be based on available money with we got control over before:
2.4.1. All liabilities for fiat (USD, EUR, RUR) will be recalculated to the BTE tokens (1 BTE equals to 1 USD) at the exchange rate on the date of conversion.
Probably there will be announced ICO which also will be held in the BTE tokens. We believe that this will help to repurchase our liabilities in shorter period of time, liabilites with are reflected in a tokens.
2.4.2. Coins on the customers accounts will be reduced for 45% of the balance amount. And instead equal amount of tokens will be credited. The exchange rate for them will be same as on date exchange went shut down.
For example, if you had 10 BTC on your account on to moment of shut down. You will get 5.5 BTC and 4.5 btcT.
2.4.3. Those customers with has BTE on their balances. BTE will be debited for 45%. Insted you will get an equal ammount of cointokens, a pot if cointokens (this pot will consist of the following coins: BTC, LTC, NMC, NVC, PPC, ETH, DSH).
2.4.4. After recalculations it will be possible to withdraw up to 55% of the funds of the customers.
2.5 The investment company operates in compliance with KYC, AML and has the licenses with are required for doing specific activity, in this regard, all users will have to undergo new levels of verification.
2.6. Tentative date of launch of the service is set to the end of August.
3. Total of customers debt are planned to be repaid back shortly. Strategy includes to earn from operating income, as well as getting back seized funds, in help of advocates.
The repay of the debt will be based on the principle of repurchase of BTE tokens from the market.
In the next update we will provide more details on the procedure for accessing information to your account balances and actual time when these funds will be available for withdrawal.
From the whole BTC-e team, we officially inform you, that all funds that were in the reserve (including whole our income) were used to pay damages, due to arrest of the funds and the service itself.
