no significant movement on btc-e, so our russian+bulgarian+cypriotic friends not impressed of that fud

they understand all things correctly. It's normal and pretty usual for Russian businesses to be legally registered outside of fucking Pootie's house.

There is not much difference about company jurisdiction. It`s not a big secret that btc-e owners/operators are russians, guess why russian LE are first one to pay attention to them with real legal case? Because they know it.
Those news are really bad for btc-e. The case was started by prosecutors of Volgograd city where 2 terror acts taken place before the NY. Right after that we see pushing the law for limiting of anonymous payments which immediately caused huge losses to payment companies like QIWI (NASDAQ:QIWI) stock dropped 20%. Next we have a letter from russian central bank calling bitcoin a money surrogate and basically outlawing any kind of it`s exchange, noting that this might be suspected as financing of terrorism. The new legal case just take those words as a rule and now we have it. In Russia any mention of terror is being taken very seriously, so i have no doubt the idea is clear - they have to shutdown btc-e. I give alot of respect to those guys who operate this exchange that they are still keep working and didnt shutdown like metabank.ru did, but they are playing very dangerous games. If owners are captured, there is no guarantee that anyone will see their funds because the way they do business is illegal and there`s a big chance of seized coins/funds are being "lost" as it usually happens in Russia. I'm not about a spreading FUD here but those are all facts and country specific things you can confirm with anyone who did business in this country. I personally feel very disappointed about such actions taken place but this all gives a clear message that there`s no bright bitcoin story in Russia at least in nearest time.

Show me where it says that owners are Russian? Then even if they're Russian, show me that they're located/operate out of Russia? Stop spreading FUD or on ignore list you go.

Did all the trolls from btc-e got scared that their trollbox will close so they're running to here?

Exactly thats why you wont read it anywhere, you just cannot run such type of business and dont keep anonymous. But you might believe they run a legal cypriout/bulgarian business with all AML/KYC taken place. The truth is if they would be outside of Russia - they`d be already captured by FBI or Interpol for money laundering.
