I was curious about why FBI seized BTC-e. What is the reason behind the seizure of BTC-e by FBI?

I want to invest some serious money in to BTC & ETH and I don't want to lose my hard earned money to some funks called FBI.

Is American Government and FBI against the use of bitcoins and cryptocurrency or what Huh

The main reason is because btc-e was trying to clean the MtGOX stolen bitcoins. They are accused for $4 BILLIONS money-laundering.
And reserve blockchain analyze shown that most of hacked coins ended in BTC-E.

They will not open anytime soon...

Ok, nice!

Now I get the clear image of what happened between the FBI & BTC-e.

I thought U.S government has started another fight with bitcoin industry in-general like what happened with Silk Road & Wikileaks.

Yesterday, I got scared because some guys here were posting about "POLONIEX SEIZURE" by U.S Government and I asked myself why?

That's why I asked the question here, and thank you for the answer.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

IMO they're stealing to finance their operations. You know all these black cars, suits, smoke grenades, and flashbangs they love to throw around needlessly. Somebody has to pay for it and the budget is not really cutting it. You could see the real purpose behind this when they auctioned off silk road money. They are just a big money laundering service. Seizing all that dirty crime $$$ and making it fine and clean, ready to go back into circulation. Tongue

they have arrested someone who has been involved in multiple crimes including money laundering. they say that someone is also involved with btc-e as in being the owner of it.
we don't have much information but that is why they've also seized btc-e
btc-e made an statement (hard to understand in Russian!) but is sounds like that someone had little to do with btc-e
