I'll have about nearly $20k if I hold vs half that if I bail out. I'm going to hold. Like people have said BTC-e are doing a good job reimbursing people and look like playing more by the rules with the new site. I haven't done anything wrong and can prove where my coins came from. Do you really think the US authorities IF they ever got hold of the BTC-e user database on the new site are going to go through all possibly hundreds of thousands of accounts one by one on some sort of a witchhunt?? Not likely.
Yeah, it's unlikely. I would have liked to stay around for the new site, especially since they suggest that you will get > 55% if you stay. But as a US citizen, and with the FAQ they published, it just doesn't seem safe. Since I don't know the terms for withdrawals and verification (and I know I can't verify), the risks outweighed the potential benefits for me. And that's before you consider the whole FBI indictment matter....
At least having gotten out now, I can hedge my holdings as I see fit, instead of continuing to wait through all the volatility.
