I remember old days. There was a service called "ltcgear" . same story some people started to sell their hash after some bad news.
day by day everyone start to sell. And of course in the and all turned to trash.
Probably btc-e never gonna come back same as ltcgear, mtgox or any others.
Indeed it may never come back, but in case it will come back many people will pull their hair out.
I know you will not trust my words as it is in my interest to write this, but I really believe btc-e is another story than ltcgear or mtgox. It has been very profitable for owners during these years, I'm sure it is not in their interest to close it.
