I would like to express my highest appreciation for the team behind btc-e and wex. USA stole a lot of their money and seized their website/servers. USA tried to arrest the owners and was ready to put them in jail for 55 years (or more), thankfully USA failed. A few months back WEX recovered 100% of my lost funds and I withdrew them successfully (this was namecoin). Yes, I didn't lose anything. WEX deserves mad support from the crypto community in my opinion. They are the pirate bay of exchanges and the real heroes in crypto.
I realize some people have issues with btc-e. I am only giving this opinion from my own personal experience, which has been nothing but outstanding so far.

If the accusations against them are true then they still have plenty of stolen BTC to launder. By using them you are helping them in laundering those stolen funds.
You are one of a few. Most people got only 65% back of the stolen funds. YES they were stolen, NOT by the US Gov.
There is still a hit out on the people involved, so they'll be sleeping with the lights on for a loong time I'm sure.
The facts are: If the admins of btc-e wanted to steal money they could have done so. They could have taken 100% of our money and we couldn't have done much to stop them (you do realize that even US government failed right?). They decided to come back, and some of us already got 100% of our funds returned.
As for money laundering. You can't use exchanges without KYC if you want to avoid that. Because such thing as an anonymous exchange without money laundering is not possible.
