People seems to forget that something like this happened before for example btc-e was down for 3 months after the arrest of some of its people but yet this still return to work under another name and domain,they are wex.nz now.As long as we can see that funds are still on the wallet and are not being moved i will belive that they will comeback
How was they able to track down the btc-e owners? Just wondering if the info will help us in tracking CM owners.
Btc-e was actually a registered company with publicly known owner. No tracking was required. The owner was arrested for tax evasion, money laundering, etc. He didn't actually steal coins from his customers or scammed anyone.
He wasnt the only one involved in it but the only one that got arrested,also a lot of funds was in cold storage that people who were running the exchange had acces and could run away with it but they didnt.Its a similar situation like with coinsmarkets with a difference that btc-e was a much larger exchange with long working history behind them so its posible that owners of cm are way of their heads tech wise
