You will be getting 55% of the coins, it states they take 45% OFF not that you get 45%. That is also in line with the comment that they recouped 55%

Open questions for the 55% are for me still:

What day did they take for the rate calculation? e.g. today you can see in the ETH wallet 50 million USD more than 2 weeks ago.
Is Bitcoin Cash indeed incorporated in this calculation.

What seems odd to me is the following. we know there was a fine of roughly 110 Million, say that is frozen/payed for completely. That should then be the total loss and equal the 45%. if the losses are 45% that means they 110/45%*100%= 244Million USD should be the total amount that BTC-e had before the seize.
No. That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. USSA don't just seize "the fine", they seize everything they can get their filthy hands on.

So...
a) they are counting with old rates (that would be positive for the end % because the 55% would go up)
b) Someone took/froze/stole a lot more than the 110 Million Fine.

Your thoughts?
Nobody has paid any fine. It's likely far more fiat was seized though. Which technically is paying, through I'm sure they will still be demanded for $100m despite already having had their funds seized. As in: first steal all their money, then demand another $100m.
