This was something I definitely wouldn't want to see become reality, but it unfortunately did. Result is that thieves (US government) steal from other thieves (BTC-E), and thus the fair and square traders are trying to get rid of the bad taste in their mouth due to the losses they suffered. People are getting sick and tired of the US government acting as a world wide law enforcer. Obviously, the wrong is still with the main figure(s) running BTC-E since they are ruthless thieves (if they really end up being responsible for the MtGox hack).
What about the trollbox mod who had direct contact and assured everyone it would be running again in a few weeks.
The main BTC-E forum account and their official twitter account were also acting like everything was just fine, perhaps due to the fact that they are nothing more than muppets, and not entities with any role of significance.
