485705 eth were transferred from btc-e 10 hours ago to some other address which could be feds or theirs safe wallet .

I really feel sorry for everyone losing money here but please take 2 things into account:

1. it was kinda obvious that website was an unregulated exchange; poor contact details were a first sign
2. I would never keep more than $100 in an exchange regulated or not, I would simply exchange and bye bye

If BTCe have secured their coins properly it should be hard for the FEDs to get their hands on the coins.

If that's true than a petition won't help. I'm sorry if you lost money but you do not simply keep your life savings in crypto not to mention an exchange. If you are a risk taker at least make sure you have the private keys and know what you are doing if you are trading with that capital.

I disagree. Besides the government having absolutely no idea how cryptos work, when was the last time they decided to repay people after a seizure? There is no way they have any idea how an exchange works and it's probably too much work for them to return any amount of money. Exchanges being insanely complicated, how is it going to work if you're in FIAT when the exchange was seized? You would need to convert to BTC or need to receive a check from them. Do you think that's going to happen? Not only that if everyone converts from FIAT to BTC the price would crash on the exchange.

You're more then likely to get your money back from BTCe. BTCe already had plenty of opportunity to cut and run before the seizure, the seizure doesn't really change anything. We don't even know if their assets were even taken. There are plenty of ways for them to move them around, we're talking cryptos... That's like one of the biggest parts OF cryptos.

It is so ridiculous, yet so true at the same time. Unfortunately, while they could open back up for a few days to allow withdraws, this will not happen. All of us lost our money, and it is yet another plague for the crypto economy after Mt. Gox, Cryptsy and now the oldest exchange BTC-e.

Hmm, goverment has no idea about how crypto and exchange works? Do you say that really? Because it's impossie to forget so important task as crypto is and there is no doubt that they know a lot about it to my mind. Goverment don't likes crypto so more likely they won't think much about how to repay people.

There's always going to be somebody playing some game and you shouldn't get too upset about it just keep in mind that some of the exchanges have a very high  risk on disappearing at any time. Key learning is that do not keep all your bitcoin in single exchange, rather split them between multiple exchange to avoid loss in case any exchange scam.

Is poloniex unlicensed ? while its containment any exchanges I'll see him about the same thing with the exchanges that you have to look out for is manipulation of the withdrawal and deposit limits. Need to be careful while using exchanges.
