Have btc-e returned them to the gambling site?
I don't know, they are not answering anymore.If you have the address of the coins you can see if they still have the coins, or if they've moved them back to the gambling site. Sorry for your loss.

mhm, you can possibly threaten them with legal action, what country are they hosted in?
My speculation is that BTC-e selectively steals from people whose coins are associated with non-legal activities.
Coins from gambling sites are stolen because BTC-e think you can't tell the police.

Interesting. I used btc-e for a small transaction before, but I might think twice in the future. This is not the first thing I have heard about them being shady. There are plenty of exchanges out there with a good reputation, so why take the chance?
i guess if you really lost 100bitcoins then you have enough money to buy another 100bitcoins.
because nobody with a average income would play with 100bitcoins^^

maybe somehow this gamble site and exchange site or co-owned by same group?
So BTC-e is scam? Please confirm

I don't know, they are not answering anymore.Next time, use sites like www.100bit.co.in to exchange 100 bitcoin. They dont ask for KYC, they dont need you to store your fund at site wallet.
Well...did you steal them? Like, honestly?
Whether you did or didn't is irrelevant. BTC-e has no authority to make this sort of determination on any basis, moral or legal. Particularly because they are in violation of so many KYC/AML/BSA policies themselves.
A word of caution to anybody still using BTC-e: You are fools. This exchange will be down and your coins will be lost inside of 2 years. Move them while you still can.
U.S. Justice Department indictments and forfeitures are coming...wait and see.

Unfortunately these will be lost forever
Seems like you're the same person from Reddit that's posting about losing money on BTC-e. Well, they're a bit shady and completely unknown... They also probably think they're doing the right thing. Have the coins moved from the exchange's address? Have they moved back to bitdice? You should also insist with Bitdice staff, there's a thread from them in the Gambling forum.
Anyways, I'm sorry for your loss. You won't probably see the coins back. If you do, you're a lucky guy...

I'm just completely lost and have no idea what to do. I've been lurking on here for about a year now, and respect all of you and would appreciate your input.
I'll try my best to keep this short and to the point.
I gambled on a Bitcoin gambling site, and won a few Bitcoins (~XX). I moved those Bitcoins to my wallet with XXX amount of Bitcoins, and then moved them to BTC-e for some trading.
I traded for 3-4 days, made some very nice profits (was going all in, my gambler mentality actually paid off). Then, for some reason my withdraws were denied. I figured it was nothing, opened a support ticket asking what was going on, and kept on going. The next day I tried logging in,
"Account suspended. Contact support."
At this point I was pretty confused. Little did I know, it was the start to one of the longest nightmares of my life. I opened another support ticket, asking what the hell was going on. After 3-4 days of complete silence from the support, I decided to use Google Translate and post my support tickets in Russian. Finally, a day later I got a response.
We received a report that your Bitcoins are stolen.
What the fuck? I'm not sure how they came to that conclusion, so I asked who reported that. Turns out it was the gambling site I went to. I explained to them that no stealing occured, and told them that the site owner may be mad I actually turned a profit. They insisted that I had stolen them (since when is BTC-e the Bitcoin police?), and asked for a picture of my passport to "verify my identity." I was desperate to get my coins back, so I complied entirely. They asked for some other information and said a police investigation would take place and would take 30 business days. I happily waited 30 days, and lo and behold, my account was still locked with no word from BTC-e. I'm assuming the "police" were made up and BTC-e used it as an excuse to potentially scare me off, that probably would have worked had I done anything wrong.
For the next few months, it usually consisted of me posting a support ticket, waiting 5-6 days, then getting a response from BTC-e like "show us a screenshot of X."
I showed them a screenshot of my balance on the gambling site, screenshot of my Bitcoin wallet verifying I deposited the coins, screenshot of all kinds of shit. I feel like they were purposely wasting my time. After a few months of that, they asked me to contact the gambling site. I did, no response. The fact that they are asking me to contact the very people who are trying to scam me is fucking pathetic and infuriating.
Now, every time I post a support ticket they close it with no response. I have no idea what to do. I've contacted my local police, FBI, and multiple lawyers. All said they can't do anything, because no one knows who runs BTC-e or they were outside jurisdiction. If any of you have an idea on what I should do, please tell me.
tl;dr BTC-e is risky as fuck, be careful and don't make the same mistake I did
EDIT: You guys wanted screenshots, here they are.
My skype conversation with them in Russian.
In that Skype conversation they basically asked for a photo of my passport, I told them I didn't have one and sent them a picture of my ID instead. They later said they they contacted the police to verify my information in this picture.
My ticket where they told me to "contact the gambling site" (the one attempting to scam me)
Where I say "here" is where I sent them a screenshot of my wallet (lol) for them to "verify" some other bullshit. They then ask me to contact the gambling service, I tell them no, they stop responding for a few days, then close the ticket.
