I'm having trouble comprehending the Google translation of BTC-e's announcements.  What it sounds like they're saying is that the U.S. confiscated the dollars outright, and therefore BTC-e will "socialize" the loss by redistributing my alt-coins to people whose dollars were stolen...  Please tell me I'm misunderstanding this!

And if I am mistaken, then should I just wait until BTC-e eventually resurfaces (hopefully), at which point I will be free to access and transfer my alt-coins if I so choose?  (Or am I really not getting the point, and my alt-coins are truly gone forever?)
