Hey guys.
So I've been inactive on BTC-E for like 2 months or so and I just learned it's been shut down by FBI? WTF? I had 0.46BTC there ($2k). So are they going to refund us our bitcoins? I earned them fair and square (started from 2013). I'm considering going to FBI office or call them/email them. What should I do?

at this point, there is nothing to do but wait and hope. since the DOJ basically called its customers criminals and said the exchange itself is a criminal enterprise, it's very unlikely there will be a claims process for customers to try to recover funds from the US government.
there is a small chance that btc-e will relaunch and/or make partial refunds, based on the funds (mostly crypto) they still have access to. you can keep up with their updates by following their bitcointalk or twitter accounts: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=33012
