Wex.nz is btc-e annd 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.

Hey, mr 'krack-r', how about you use some of your m@d cR@kInG 5K177z to actually format your fucking posts properly and stop repeatedly full-quoting for no good reason?

OK, how may of the documents have you seen with your eyes?

*I* haven't seen a thing. BTC-E, however, obviously HAVE seen these documents in the private correspondence that has been going on between 'steven' and their support desk for the last 13 months.

Second, how does one NOTARIZE a document over EMAIL???

Jesus fucking Henry Christ, how wilfully dumb do you have to be to continue posting your ignorance for all to see? He hasn't notarized them over email, he obviously had it done locally and emailed BTC-E copies of the notarized document!


The Idea of Notarization is to see the Notary Stamp (which you could verify by CALLING THEM!) along with your names and address.
Which part of the following are you struggling to understand?

I've notarized the documents they have asked for, it's publicly available and has a commission number (#) valid until July 2017.

The emailed documents have the notary's information they can verify themselves, that's what he's making clear in this comment that you either didn't bother to read or cannot understand.

This is not about bitcoin, this is about a centralised business withholding customer funds even though the customer has used internationally-recognised legal certification to prove he is the same person matching the identity records they already have on file for that locked account. If BTC-E have been given the information they asked for and have not provided any reason or evidence to suggest the notarized ID documentation that has been provided is false, but are continuing to refuse to release the customer's funds back to him, then this has much larger and far more serious implications for their client base as a whole.

So GTFO of this thread you idiocy-spamming mong.

krack-r is short for crack rock, not cracker, IDIOT!

Anything sent over email could be faked.
The official channel is regular mail.
Otherwise anything could be faked.
Original documents, notarized, not over email.

Lets put the cards on the table, here. Is he a shill account of yours? I'm wondering as to why am I arguing with you and not the OP? Unless you're the same person.

Mark my words people, if this money go into Steven009's hands within a few weeks the real owner will probably start a similar topic somewhere else.
Think how would you feel if someone steals your coins.
I am also stunned that you claim you haven't seen a thing, and you're siding with him. Why? He might not have been saying the truth. It's a thing humans do to cover their asses, when they do wicked shit.
In any case it appears that you know something no one else knows.
Since you're "the police" (almost peed from laughter) here.


Looks like you haven't read the previous posts and screenshots, provided by the scammer:
Just a reminder. He claims that he notarized the screenshot, showing him sending the coins to the address. This is not serious. He denied sending the passport.
And once again - if he is saying the truth it's simple - just send notarized documents via regular mail (stamped and everything) and the whole thing goes away.


The resistance from doing the above shows that the person is not genuine. Means he has something to hide.
Anyway - I hope the real owner figures it out before it gets too late.

The fact that he didn't file a complaint with the Police, or another institution is very fishy.
Extremely fishy I'd say. A normal person wouldn't wait for 1 year. If the exchange delayed replies, someone who actually owned the money would have went berzerk, and would have sent a lawyer.

Be careful.

This scammer has resurfaced again.

Here we go again... The kind of procedure is exactly the same. They ( @WEX-OFFICIAL ) make you wait for days without end, close your tickets, and when you make another one they ignore it or (insert: loop) just close it once again.

It's the same modus operandi of former BTC-e, and I dare to say it's the same incompetent staff.

and here come the official FinCEN accusations:

https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-fines-btc-e-virtual-currency-exchange-110-million-facilitating-ransomware

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), working in coordination with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, assessed a $110,003,314 civil money penalty today against BTC-e a/k/a Canton Business Corporation (BTC-e) for willfully violating U.S. anti-money laundering (AML) laws.  Russian national Alexander Vinnik, one of the operators of BTC-e, was arrested in Greece this week, and FinCEN assessed a $12 million penalty against him for his role in the violations.

so there are still chances that btc-e comes back if they comply.

I don't see why they would come back.

Unless, perhaps, we're going to witness the usual 'we wuz haxxored so we're not allowing withdrawals right now' excuse, followed by attempts to convince people to make deposits under the guise of various promises to 'prioritise' their withdrawal requests etc. Given they are supposed to have many millions in bitcoin on their books, I don't see how they'd be bothered to go through that effort just to skim a few more from the desperate and gullible.

No, I think this is pretty much the end of the exchange and the best anyone can hope for is that they might be able to, eventually, file a claim to whichever legal authority has control of seized funds.

see this post that explains the role of Alexander Vinnik and btc-e to some extend

http://blog.wizsec.jp/2017/07/breaking-open-mtgox-1.html?m=1

  • After the coins (...stolen from Mt Gox) entered Vinnik's wallets, most were moved to BTC-e and presumably sold off or laundered (BTC-e money codes were a popular choice). In total some 300,000 BTC ended up on BTC-e, while other coins were deposited to other exchanges, including MtGox itself.
  • Some of the funds moved to BTC-e seem to have moved straight to internal storage rather than customer deposit addresses, hinting at a relationship between Vinnik and BTC-e.
    The stolen MtGox coins were not the only stolen coins handled by Vinnik; coins stolen from Bitcoinica, Bitfloor and several other thefts from back in 2011 and 2012 were all laundered through the same wallets.


so there are still chances that btc-e comes back if they comply. Hopefully with more respect for users like steven and me.

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, they said on Wednesday.

Police did not name the 38-year-old, who was arrested in the northern Greek region of Chalkidiki on Monday on a U.S. warrant.

He is suspected of heading a criminal organization since 2011 that "owns, operates and manages one of the world's leading e-crime websites", police said in a statement.

I don't think btc-e will ever be able to recover from this If this man is the owner/partner of btc-e.com. He is in the hands of the secret service now.

"operates and manages one of the world's leading e-crime websites" This sentence alone guarantees that any money on btc-e is seized by the FEDs already.

Had some more thoughts on the subject.

Maybe he was caught long before this and he made a deal with the secret service. That's why btc-e tried to collect every private information they can from its users. They were trying to have a list of their users so they can share it with the FEDs.

And the money... They were never going to give them back.

If that's true, then I think it's for the better. I have more chances in recovering what's mine through the system (even tho it'll be a lengthily process) than trying to recover through BTC-e.

In way I happy that they got shut down. I rather lose my money to the USA and maybe have a chance to file a claim. I am a legit owner of my coins with hard earned money.

well, if Alexander Vinnik really is a key btc-e operator and most assets have been seized, there are chances that lawful and verified asset owners are being reimbursed, because those assets were not assets of the site. However, its going to be a lengthy process with a lot of administrative procedures...

Unfortunately, an exit scam is what I smell as well.

They would have so many means to verify an identity and to comply with AML / KYC. But thanks to Steven009 at least we know now what will be delay tactics nr. 6...

If those guys will try to run, that should be really hard to do for an entire life.

Soft-FX has programmed their software and Mayzus Financial Services has been their financial broker. As soon as those two companies will get scrutinized after a prosecution of this scam the identities will be revealed. Will not be funny for them once they get extradicted to the US...

Guys from russian thread are discussing potential scam of btc-e. The exchange is offline for 16 hours to the time of this post.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btc-e-2014424
I'm hope that it's wrong information and we will see this exchange online soon.

Guys at reddit tells that it might be an exchange hack. It seems just after some coins moved out from the cold storage address, btc-e went offline.

Btc-e said they had to maintenance their stuff before they went offline but I don't believe that  somehow.
