Btc-e is a scam.They took 12 btcs from me in 2014 and i requested them to return the btc but they wont.They hacked me to get my living address and banking details and harassed me for 4 years and they are still harassing me.After taking all my money they told me they could hack my bank account and take all my money from my bank account as well as they have my bank details and they hacked my phone and all the apps on my phone as well. Btc-e intercepted my emails ,phone conversations and invaded my privacy.Do you know how shameless they are?
After a few years after taking all my coins ,they sent me emails to cheat me to invest in some ico that they participated in. When I reported btc-e to the police, they sent me death threats and harassed me near my place.Btc-e is set up by the NSA to track people using bitcoins.This is because bitcoin is a NSA project.Once you use Btc-e you will be under surveillance by the NSA forever.

I understand your frustration about btc-e. Without doubt it was a scam.
But your theory about btc in general seems to be a conspirancy theory.
All nations hate Bitcoin....
Dont blame btc for the scams that appear at many BTC-trading/investment sites.

More detailed information about what happened to the BTC-e service.

On July 25, 11:00 the FBI staff came to the data center where our server equipment was located and seized all equipment, the servers contained databases and purses of our service.

Almost 6 days we could not get from our hosting provider the sane information, what happened to our servers because of this information we publish only now.

July 28, the domain was confiscated.

To date, part of the service facility has been arrested by the FBI.

The next update will include information on what options are available to restore the service, as well as the procedure for obtaining funds, in the event that the service is not started. In the current situation, if the service is not started before the end of August, Then from September 1 we will start the process of refund.
In the next 1-2 weeks, we will evaluate and publish information about how much money fell into the hands of the FBI and what amount of funds is available for return.

For all those who buried us, I will remind you that the service has always worked on trust and we are ready to answer for it.
The funds will be returned to everyone!



The arrest of Russian Alexander Vinnik:
Officially declare - Alexander was never the head or employee of our service.

Sincerely, btc-e

A grand jury in the Northern District of California has indicted a Russian national and an organization he allegedly operated, BTC-e, for operating an unlicensed money service business, money laundering, and related crimes.

I can't believe that the fuckin FBI falsely claimed that Vinnik operated BTC-e when BTC-e adamantly declares that such was not the case. That's almost as believable as BTC-e returning all its users' funds in spite of not having any access to its database because ... wait for it ... the fuckin FBI took everything when they arrested a slew of other BTC-e employees except the dude who penned the post quoted above promising that all funds WILL Be returned just like Tom Williams of MyBitcoin promised back in 2011.


"Listen up, guys. In a few minutes we're going be boarding a plane heading to another country. Once there, we're going to BTC-e's data center and take their servers and hopefully arrest some people. We'll bring the severs and the those arrested back to the US. Meanwhile, Vinnik is about to be arrested in Greece where he's on holiday from Russia. Any questions? Oh, BTW depending on who's writing the news, Colin or Brian Stretch will be handling the prosecutions."

“Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin provide people around the world new and innovative ways of engaging in legitimate commerce,” said U.S. Attorney Colin Stretch, whose office will be prosecuting the case. “As this case demonstrates, however, just as new computer technologies continue to change the way we engage each other and experience the world, so too will criminals subvert these new technologies to serve their own nefarious purposes.”

Does not sound like an exit scam.
Seems the authorities have the hot wallet.
So who did the damage?
Btc-e or the authorities?
Anyway, up to now this is only a posting, not yet the refund....

The timing is flawless from the governments position. they can hold the btc collect the bitcoin cash coins at 1{1 and return users btc while retaining the bcc. A caper on caper on caper. mtgox>btce>gov back to owners and the gov gets all the bcc!!! Then the bcc will be squandered on overpriced goods and tech for LE and the cycle is complete.

He won't go to gitmo. He'll go to the same place El Chapo is at. Manhattan borough of NYC. And we didn't pick him up Greece arrested him with our help. He still has to be extradited. And we extradite as well when criminals flee to America.

Greece picked him up at America's 'request'.  They wouldn't give a rat's ass about him coming and spending a few thousand euros in their country otherwise (they have enough problems of their own).  America, as usual, is trying to play 'world police'


Actually every single bank doing that... Paying fines with customers money...
That's why there is long term deposits which banks pay you % to work with your money...
Btc-e is trash by the way, since the begin

actually no bank pays fines and says sorry customers, your money has been forfeited because we had to pay a fine.

they pay fines out of their own pockets. after them paying, customers still have access to their deposits.  unless they are running a Madoff, which I agree, most big banks today are doing today legally.


Actually our ring about being picked up at americas request. He was wantednin Greece as well for defrauding Greece investors. The scope of his Fraud touch almost every country and he is wanted internationally, not just by the USA, but by every county who has had citizens affected in the scam.

Justice is being served. I hope this piece of shit get his ass raped in our shity American prisons. It's great cuz he's gonna be in our country and we can finally sue this piece of shit. Can't get blood from a stone but fuck it. It's totally worth getting to face this asshole in a court room.

yes, that is an unfortunate reality of American prisons. 

still strange how America can pick up anyone from anywhere in the world and fly them straight to Gitmo if they want.  and they fight for the whole world's liberty.

by the way, for all of you who have your funds stuck with btc-e,  have a look at what mr. vinnik did when faced with a similar issue with his funds.

what does this means...

"Sorry for your loss"

funny and mean but the truth. folks with funds on btc-e should forget about it. They will never get a refund. Apparently they have just been fined $110 million for money laundering.

paying fines with customers money has never been practiced in any legal system till date.

Up to now its not really clear what happened.
Who took the funds? If they were taken?
The Authorities? then they are to blame for the loss.
Who did launder funds from mtgox?
Users deposited and sold them?
Lets be serious, on any BTC exchange, black money is circulating, and on any bank cash from drug deals are circulating.

I am not ready to make any accusations before truth is not out.

But its also interesting, USA may arrest foreign people if they dont follow the US-Rules.
Did BTC-e break local rules, wherever there local base was...

And after all, is it justified to throw people to prison for 55years, who did not murder?
Just want to remember, that in the last Iraq war, 100 000nds of people were killed in a war that was agressively made by US, all done with lies.
How many years should a warlord Bush sit for that crime? 100million years, would that be fair compared to this threat of 55years?

Dont wanna justify scams. If they happened at btc-e, thats not excusable.
