What reasons do you have for such little hope?
@bonker, good points.
Look at the aftermath of liberty reserve in its shutdown. The USGov painted all the users there with the same broad brush and nobody got their money back. Look into the precedent set by "civil asset forfeiture" in the US where cops routinely seize cash from drivers and the IRS routinely seizes the entire bank accounts of legitimate businesses just because they "deposit cash too frequently." Many of those instances of drivers and businesses are quite obviously legitimate but they don't care and like stealing money because they CAN and the precedents set on the rule of law have changed far, far away from the idea of "nobody can be deprived of property without due process."
What's shocking about this particular case is the breadth of the application against so many international citizens instead of just within their own borders. I don't think the media will ever report the truth of this and only support the official narrative that the place was a den of criminals, because the scale of this, and its implications, are astounding.
^ This guy gets it, when you read the indictment which says btc-e was set up to launder money by design, and they also infer that trollbox usernames hint to criminal activity, it doesn't look too promising. A crime does not have to have taken place for them to seize assets, and they don't have to prove anything. Suspicion is enough, and they have created that suspicion in the indictment.
Call your lawyers, and pray that the US are wrong about this being by design.
