Well I managed to dodge 2 bullets, got out a month before Gox went down and a couple of months before Cryptsy but 3rd time unlucky on BTC-e

I had around 10k invested in BTC and Eth.
I guess it all depends too if BTC-e has money in bank accounts other assets etc. They must have made a crapload of profit over the years, so holding on to hope that somehow we can get at least some of our investment back.
If all else fails what are the chances of a class action or the likes happening. Why should innocent investors get shafted because of a minority breaking the "law"
this is most probably not a hack but instead a problem with the law. things like money laundering that the news say come to mind.
in that case you may get the "lawsuit" not the btc-e because you were trading cryptocurrencies there anonymously without reporting your taxes!
as far as your money is concerned if you have not been doing anything illegal and paid your taxes you may have a hope in getting it back.
