Huh? The charge BTCE had was operating a money service without a license.
Do you know the money service licensing requirements of the country BTC-e was operating in?
Does it matter? The United States consider the whole world as its jurisdiction, if it is convenient for them.
By the way, I think they said about an update by the end of this week( I think Friday is the end of week already, don't?). So anything new?
