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.
That's pretty harsh. What do you mean by "illicit traders?" It was an exchange, a place to hedge the value of your coins or cash out some profits from investing or mining. There's nothing "illicit" about that. The fact is that most users of BTC-e are innocent, and deserve equal treatment in any recovery.
