An update from BTC-E.
Posting the following update (translated from Russian) to inform the relevant people who may have funds stuck on btc-e.com:
More detailed information about what happened to the BTC-e service.
On July 25, 11:00 the FBI staff came to the data center where our server equipment was located and seized all equipment, the servers contained databases and wallets of our service.
Almost 6 days we could not get any sort of information from our hosting provider about what happened to our servers. Because of this, information we publish only now.
July 28, the domain was confiscated.
At the moment, part of the service is arrested by the FBI.
The next update will include information on what options are available to restore the service, and also the procedure for obtaining funds, in the event that the service is not started. In the current situation, if the service is not resumed before the end of August, then from September 1 we will start the process of refund.
In the next 1-2 weeks, we will evaluate and publish information about how much money fell into the hands of the FBI and what amount of funds is available for return.
For all those who buried us, I will remind you that the service has always worked on trust and we are ready to answer for it.
The funds will be returned to everyone!
The arrest of Russian Alexander Vinnik: Officially declare - Alexander was never a senior officer or employee of our service.
Sincerely btc-e
P.S. In the subject write questions as far as possible we will answer them.
Its sad everything is lost dont think it can recover.
