If BTC-e tries to refund customers it will be using crypto after socializing losses.
I'm not sure that socializing the losses is a smart move.
Innocent users will compensate the balances of "drug dealers and other illicit users" that originate the problem itself.
You will use part of your money, to compensate illicit traders that cost you the money you lost.
How anybody can decide who is the drug dealer and who's not?
Oh, well, wait!
The USA and the FBI did this already. They say, btce and everybody related to it is a criminal. btce's trollbox was the communication back end of the Medllin Cartel and Pablo's ghost was seen there many times.
