I haven't used btc-e.com but isn't it somewhat similar to localbitcoins.com?

No, it's a normal exchange with BUY / SELL ORDERS etc. - you can cash out your Bitcoins to Fiat and buy Bitcoins with your Fiat. They are a little bit shady but in the business for years now!

it is a russia based exchange that follow rules of russian govt only
and about US Laws, it didnot apply to whole world they are just US laws not universal laws
That and the owners are allegedly anonymous. I'm not sure how they get away with that.

We know that btc-e.com is a major bitcoin exchange and lots of fiat money is involved. The operator of this exchange themself are most likely evading tax.

I have nothing against btc-e.com.. In fact, I really like btce-com!

BUT, I am wondering, why is no authority chasing them? Obviously they are violating lots of USA and EU laws. Laws about money laundering, no ID verification, and more. Probably some people already tried unsuccessfuly to sue them.

They do use cloudflare.com as a CDN, which is a US-company, so at least the US-authorities could easily track ithem down, and find out where they are hosted, and by whom! We know about NSA, the snowden stories, that chasing them down by pressing just one button could easily be done.

They are even using google analytics on their site!!! So that means, a lot of data of their customers gets sent directly to NSA.
So my question is, WHY is no authority trying to find out who they are and shut the website down???

Is it because the operators dont have US-citizenship? Or because its not hosted on US soil? I am really wondering...
