I'm curious as to why people are doing the "gimme 55% now and screw the rest" refund. Isn't waiting 2 weeks worth 45% of your funds? (or maybe it's just because I have a lot of funds on there that I find it a bad option)
The coins have gone so much up in price since the btc-e shutdown, people in coins dont have much to lose, they still make some money despite the 45% loss. But its odd that they're not willing to wait 2 weeks to make much more money.

100 times this. Too much uncertainty with the new exchange that it's better to cut your losses now. It's the safest option for those in the US.
