Still actual. Do not miss a chance!
Well by posting in the Gambling section you did the right thing because this really does sound like a gamble in getting anything back from BTCe.
However 2x is not worth the risk. Maybe 5-10x or so, since most likely that money is gone forever.
I agree, this is really a big gamble. The first gamble is believing op if he does have those codes. Then the second one is whether indeed BTC-E will even come back. By the looks of it these guys just turned into a scam and likely there is a bigger chances you will not get that $10,000 OP is promising. If I would take this "bet" I would just do a 1:10 kind of odds for this.
As you say, having those codes it sounds more than odd and very hard to believe.
BTC-e didn't end up scam though, in the well-known sense of the word as robbing or gone with people's money but for "laundring"/ransomware money and because Alexander Vinnik is suspicion for the MtGox case, having already a warrant about it in US.
As far as i know, that doesn't mean necessarily the closing of "his" company...Correct me though if i am wrong about it.

So maybe the odds for this..."bet", is kind different...
