Sorry, too late... "Error 525"

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.

the site seems to have shut down

They used to have skype support back in the years, what happen to that ? Is it still reachable ?

Love it. Thank you, authorities, for taking down these scammers.

Well we will see whats happen a cuople days or during timeline ..

Word on the street is that the BTC-e has gone down, and that at least a couple of people involved in the site have been arrested. Information is still coming in, but you can find a couple of articles online, such as: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-greece-russia-arrest-idUSKBN1AB1OP

Sorry to everyone who has money tied up there :/

see the parallel discussion in this thread

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1739698.200

they really have standard procedures to keep people waiting and lazy:

1. get asked by btc-e to provide transaction history
2. get asked to create and verify account with xbtce
3. xbtce asks for ID and proof of address
4. xbtce asks for notary certified ID and proof of address as well as income statement from my employer as "proof of income"
5. ask to send all the notary certified documents to a shady address in Malaysia
6. if you even sent that they ask to send also notary certified bank documents with the original transactions to that address

Not sure if anyone already got to "level 7" and how many levels they think of.

...not funny...

sooner or later they will get what they deserve.

Yes, website now error 522
What happened now?

Their host is down. Coincidence?

Hi guys...

I urge everyone to submit a collective report to the Economic Crime Command of the NCA. Link:

http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/about-us/what-we-do/economic-crime

In particular, SARs should be reported as they are perpetrating fraud.

http://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/contact-us/reporting-suspicious-activity-sar

Please also submit police reports to the Financial Analytical Unit (FAU) of the Czech Republic's AML authorities and to all other jurisdictions where they operate bank accounts.

For those in the U.S. I encourage everyone to file collective reports to FinCEN:

https://www.fincen.gov/contact

If there are other jurisdictions they are active in, please have a look at this list of financial intelligence authorities:

They should not be allowed to defraud people further. It's time for them to be the next AlphaBay.

They finally opened my account. Did it work out for you?

Well I see everyone here has same issue with me but here is my sad ass story.

I have been using them for 4 years. Moved to them after the collapse of MT Gox. Over time I built up coins and what not in trading. Needless to say my account was hacked but I caught as it was happening. Happened 2X. First time was in 2015... They ask for verification the same thing I have been reading on here. Last Deposit, IP Address, etc etc. 1st time around I had all the info, it was unlocked in a few days. (my account probably had about $2K worth). Now skipping to present 2017. Got hacked again but I had the 2FA enabled so the hackers was not able to access funds however they did lock me out, I emailed support again and was asked the same thing, last deposit etc. However this time my last deposit was not able to verify from my FROM computer as requested so they asked me to do the Xbtce verification. After being verified, my support ticket changed to RED and PRIVATE. Since 7/7/17, I no longer receive messages or response from them at all. Doing research I found the website bitcointalk. I dunno, but I have a bad feeling that this going to turn out bad. I seen another post with a guy claiming his 100K account balance was resolved in about 40 days. I hoping BTC-e is not a scam and still have my fund protected.

Travis I feel for you. I much more on the exchange then 25K. I hoping to hear from others who have been locked out and if they got resolved and how long it took?

He ain't lying. I'm one of the doomed fools.

I'm Talked with lawyers in NYC who are investigating them. Haven't heard much but they are sending Russian investigators to find out who they are, track them down, and serve them in international court. Fortunately for us everything they are doing is recorded. Supposedly this firm as well as fraud police in NYC have been monitoring and recording their traffic for quite some time. Every trade, every login, every troll box message. I'm guessing the police intend on turning over their findings to the DA for a federal Investigation.

I've seen a list of complaints regarding Btc-e in this forum section, apparently they either have issues with their bank accounts or completely ignoring people and trying to get as much possible with bank account deposits. Seen someone threatening to open a lawsuit against them, better check up with him as that might push them more.

BTC-E has a long list of complaints in this forum, either by trying to withhold people's deposits particularly through wire, asking for extensive verification or simply ignoring and delaying requests, Their support is russian and english-speaking customers get no help at all, one of the worst exchanges there.

Yes I get the genuine emails, but now ALSO getting phishing ones using an address that has only ever been used at btc-e.com. (It's something I do with every site that wants an email address from me, as it makes it simple to know which sites may be insecure and/or selling your information on, and so you just block that address to fix the problem, keeps the inbox a lot clearer !!)

As it's unique it's either been gotten from my computer, or from the btc-e servers. hence why I asked if others have had this happen. If it was just me then the problem is at my end, but as others have also reported it then seems likely there may have been some form of leak of information from their end.

Many reports like this, we have user who created a e-mailadres just for BTC-E and never shared that email somewhere else.

THere are to many reporting this

I use my personal email. Same email I gave the police. It's a long standing verified yahoo account. Iv only receive trade and login confirmations ever. Iv never received a phishing email or anything like that ever.
