We went through something similar over user Horus_Cryptsy but he wasn't as much of a forum veteran and doesn't seem to have stuck around..
At one time there was strong reservations about Horus on this forum re Cryptsy, but the general consensus is that he's been given a second chance to prove himself in this space, including from myself. Rest assured that he was a bad guy, I would be sticking it up his ass big time upon reading your initial post, bud.
Hope that helps.
Here is his account on this forum:

I think that statement basically sums it up and I am generally in agreement with it..
So yeah..
When exchanges go down, often likely innocent employees get caught in the crossfire..
Those close with Cryptopia seem to have gotten through it ok as well..
iirc I had an account on BTC-e back in the day and checked it out real good but I don't think I ever sent any coin there because I was too sketched out or they didn't have anything I wanted..
Negative trust for Balthazar at the time of the BTC-e happening may have been well warranted but if the case is that he has been found innocent after all is said and done I don't see why he wouldn't deserve a second chance as well..
Then again, maybe cryptodevil has his reasons I don't know of..
