Topic: BTC-e.com down ! Police detains the owner . - page 19. (Read 21894 times)
I feeling lucky in past week decisive not send my Bitcoin to BTC-e for replace Bittrex. Just by some friend tell me BTC-e is best safe place when have HardFork and can exchange to BTC-e code with high price made me interesting with it
While very likely it's not yet confirmed that the arrested person is related to btc-e, right? Either way that explains why bitmixer.io decided to close shop. Holey moley, talk about crackdown...
The arrested individual is Alexander Vinnik, one of the owners of BTC-e, and you can read it here if the above link isn't enough.
The thing with unregulated exchanges is it's always a hot target for the feds. It delivers great service to traders who doesn't want to submit to the invasive KYC process but the downside is the owners can fuck you up anytime they wanted to go batshit crazy asshats.

Kinda cringed on "cybercrime website(s)" though. Users have been warned of this exchange since late 2014 but their loss, I guess.
i don't get it!
this has NOTHING to do with btc-e!!!
someone arrested some criminal in some unrelated country (Russia) and you say it is btc-e owner related.
BTC-E is not even a Russian exchange

BTC-E owners(one of them is Alexander Vinnik) are from Russia. Alexander Vinnik is the one in cause.
BTC-e is down and I think the users(stupid ones who use this shit website without any financial license) will lose the funds.
thanks the article makes sense if what you said is true, but i am still very skeptical because i can not find anything on the internet saying "Alexander Vinnik" is the owner of btc-e and i have searched before for finding information on them and i did it again with this name and nothing came up!
p.s i hope the last part of your comment is not true. it is the oldest exchange that is standing to this day.

I think the trading site is so old and trusted that so many people are on that trading site, I see this case not once and very often so it seems there is no problem for it just in the care
As soon as he was arrested I'm thinking a doomsday switch was turned on because 66,000 Bitcoins out of cold storage. And while BTC-E is "down", some $169M bitcoin fortune is on it's laundering way via hundreds of wallets, cur pos:https://blockchain.info/address/1KA9Z7n6kBJMosZVP4AZprzUTEw6KchJtP … pic.twitter.com/gjknwI33G7
This makes no sense at all ---> " Greek police said he had been directing a criminal organization that owns, operates and
manages "one of the largest cybercrime websites in the world."
Are they saying BTC-e was a cybercrime site? This is one
of the reasons why I do not use unregulated exchanges. Yes, the KYC/AML regulations are a pain in the ass, but you know
that someone is looking over their shoulder, to see if they are managing your money by the book. I hate using them, but to
convert to Fiat, you have to.

Russian wanted in US caught in Greece for money laundering
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THESSALONIKI, Greece — Jul 26, 2017, 6:38 AM ET
Greek authorities say they have arrested a Russian man wanted in the United States on suspicion of masterminding a money laundering operation involving at least $4 billion through bitcoin transactions.
Police said Wednesday they arrested the 38-year-old, who has not been officially named, the previous morning in northern Greece in cooperation with US authorities, and seized electronic equipment from his hotel room.
The man has been accused of laundering an estimated $4 billion since 2011 by using the online bitcoin currency. Greek police said he had been directing a criminal organization that owns, operates and manages "one of the largest cybercrime websites in the world."

"Greek police arrested a Russian man suspected of running a money laundering operation involving turning $4 billion from illicit business activities into the digital currency bitcoin."
Wow, what a big operation! I am sure he was able to swindled a lot of people of their money and laundered it to make it look legit. Now, the arms of the law has already caught him and he has no more escape.
This should be serving a big warning to all scammers and hackers. Alas, scammers/hackers are beyond being warned as the smell of money is so strong for them.

I was expecting this after FBI busted Alphabay and than Hansamarkt.
obviously russian+international mobs was those who operate and controlle Alphabay and BTC E too.
It is a dot and answer to federals.
The owner of BTC E live is in danger.
As mobs killed Alexander Caze in Thai prison mobs can kill the owner in greece prison. So they can not to investigate further.
Every action has it consequences.
FBI took Alphabay down,mobs took exchange money as they do not have profit from Alpha now.
Circle closed.
Federals dont fucking understand and ruin balance with their dirty hands in ecosystem.
And now we pay for their shit too.
P.S. I still remember the "succsesfull" FBI/DEA operation when they confiscated 20 000 tons of sasafrol oil in africa. Precursor to "exstasy"
After such "success" europe was full with deadly Pmma(dangerous analog of ecstasy) for 5 years with hundreds of death and injuries.
For me was absolutely ok if 40 000 people(total Alphabay active members) from 7 500 000 000 humans in world choose to take drugs. They was absolutely free to make with their body and mind what they want. They are free to chose.
I am not for drugs,I am for freedom and responsibility of individuals.
DEA old school veterans must retire soon.
