I think that's the high score so far. My loss is only $1.3k, $430k would be life destroying.
Hands up who doesn't think it's right that the US FBI interferes with legitimate foreign crypto traders.
I think the FBI were completely out of line seizing the btc-e.com domain, making it hard for traders to get updates on what it going on.
It's a classic example of the laziness of the bureau, taking down the entire exchange instead of chasing down the people that have allegedly committed crimes against the US. It is not illegal to run a crypto exchange or trade on one.
yes, it is illegal to run an exchanger without a financial license. is Coinbase, ITbit, Bitstamp, Gemini and many, many other licensed forex companies stupids? they paid millions to become complaint with all the financial laws.
why did they do it? just for fun?
the unlicensed exchangers are a plague and they must be removed.
