ya right. USA government has everything right now. their "inictment" was from January 2017. that . means they already got all the necessary legal shit to hack btc-e and prepare for this takedown. they already had everything in place since the last 6 months
There certainly seems to be a case in this thread of underestimating law enforcement. These guys will have done a lot of groundwork and collected a lot of evidence for this case. This isn't just two cops in a panda car cuffing a guy.
When things go right, the FBI (etc) issues a takedown and seizure of funds is the headliner in the press release. Not the case here. =
No one has any idea what they will do with the seized funds.
The FBI doesn't just immediately move funds. For the same reason that they didn't redirect BTC-e.com immediately. They let it sit for a day or two. And then they changed the nameservers
Nameservers are irrelevant once the word is out
But the emphasized part certainly is. It simply makes no sense to keep funds once they get the keys. This is not dollars sitting in a bank account where no one can move them without prior consent of the bank (in this case the FBI). This is Crypto, after all. What if someone else knows the keys and moves the money right ahead of them? As to me, moving funds to a different wallet would be the first thing these guys would do
