Well, how are you going to do whale-like trading without keeping whale-sized numbers of coin on an exchange?!

This quote might be sarcasm, but with $3.5m in Bitcoin you don't need to do any trading...just let it sit there!

To say that it's frustrating to watch the US claim jurisdiction over this case is the understatement of the year. But what's not being discussed is why the countries who do have jurisdiction in this case (i.e., Russia, Greece, New Zealand, others?) are so willing to allow the US to assume jurisdiction. US agencies can't operate so openly without the permission of the local countries. Perhaps the only exception is the internet and only because the US can hack and control whatever site they want...and they don't need some country's permission to do so. The internet is still the wild west...it's like operating in the ocean...there are no borders.

Well, you and I don't need to do any trading but a BTCaller's gonna BTCall.

Didn't BTC-E claim that all crypto funds are safe and they will come back online shortly.

Anyway it's a crazy high amount to store on a BTC exchange. Hopefully the owner receives back his coins and learns his lesson.

Well I think they may never come online again. I read today that the owner is detained by the police officers. Unless he has given his powers to some of his co helpers to run the site probably we will not see BTC-E again online. People still keeping high amounts of bitcoins in exchange is a thing that surprises me a bit, I guess people will never learn except the hard way.

I cannot reach the site today.

I think your information on btc-e is outdated, btc-e owner(s) have gained control over database and wallets, they might come back!

I hope you are right but things are not looking good. I still cannot reach the site and after many tries it finally says that this domain has been seized and I see about 6 logos of different US agencies. I hope they come back but surely it will not be the same website btc-e.com anymore. They need to add these wallets and databases to a new website and would be better if they keep the server in some third world country this time.

People were advised to get their coins off exchanges and into secured wallets they control the private keys because of the fork. So, why is anyone complaining they lost coins for that sake? Obedience is better than sacrifice, it isn't only applicable in the Old Testament. It is a maxim. Let the losers lick their wounds. No pity party for anyone.

Jack has fallen because he and others failed to heed to advise times without number that exchange sites are vulnerable not only to hackers but several interested parties even the owner himself is a threat to the site but they fail to take heed and move their funds out thinking exchange sites has turn to a bank where you can fixed deposit for eternity. The only consolation we can give them is for btc-e to live up to expectation and pay them back as promised.

That's really bad as bitcoins is involved in this situation there is no chance ge get's his bitcoin back because of lack of proof available. I have seen many problems on their site just bought bitcoins once took 10 days for withdrawal to get approved maybe people can learn from their mistakes and avoid such exchanges

Keeping that amount of money on a shady exchange that has no regulations governing it's operations will result in losses like this.

We have warned people over and over again, against storing large amounts of money/btc on these exchanges and people still risk

doing this. When will they learn? Even the regulated exchanges are not risk free. Roll Eyes

He is not the only one. Thousands of people lost lots of money. Everyone in the trollbox had to have at least $1,000 to chat. I heard a huge whale from Dubai lost millions. Apparently he had 3.5 million on the site... why would anyone keep such an amount there is beyond me. I just hope everyone gets their refunds in due time, but it seems unlikely at this point.
