Any other lawyers or individuals interested in undertaking a legal action against to try an seek redress for you BTC-e losses or otherwise, post here.
I am suggesting an ETH ICO to fund this.

Undertaking legal action ... against the US authorities? Good luck. An ETH ICO could actually potentially provide a lot of funding (given how people will still throw ridiculous amounts of money into any ICO at this point). But taking on the feds?
This, unfortunately, isn't like offering online gambling from Antigua. Money laundering is apparently taken much more seriously, and given that BTC-E had no mandatory KYC, they probably shouldn't have openly accepted US residents. Pigs, man.
we can still SUE the US gov, and they do have money, for acting in away that has caused us Loss,. I know how hard this is, but still its worth shot. Eg if the police smash your house down to get at a bad guy, they can pay for it.
I am sure they will have some sort of legislation that says no we don't have to pay, but it may depend on other options.
In principal, you are right. But I just don't see a great chance of success there. Those of us who have sustained big losses from this -- we need to start rebuilding now. I don't have capital to put into any legal battles. I need to rebuild my trading capital and get my life back on track after these losses.
As much as I would love to fight the US authorities, I think it will probably be a waste of money (and for US citizens, it might bring some unwanted attention). I suspect that this is the reality for a lot of BTC-E's customers.
