What will happen to the bitcoin price of BTC-e shuts down without a warning, and run with your coins?

Who are you going to sue?
Nobody knows which individuals or corporation is behind that russian site.

The company(s) are known and registered at cyprus & england.
To know the owners will give you nothing except the company is a construct which
involves personal capital. Thats the sense to have a company: Its a legal entity.

But i agree: We need more transparency.
Even i do not care who operates/own the company who own btc-e.
I just need to know the company runs professional.

Hopefully we have in the near future a kind of audit - that would for example something
the bitcoin foundation would be good for. The exchanges pay the foundation a fee, they
make audits of the exchanges and control the hot/cold wallets and all.
