good news for btc-e traders
BTC-e has kept its promise to relaunch the website…sort of. The domain http://btc-e.nz was active today, though not accessible to users in some parts of the world, notably the US, due to regulations.
the domain was seized after the arrest of Alexander Vinnik in Greece in July on charges of money laundering, specifically, the laundering of the stolen Mt. Gox Bitcoins.
The administrators of the site claim to be transferring user data to a yet-unnamed new business entity which will open on or around September 15th. The new entity is to be fully compliant under the current European regulations for investment firms.
Whether the relaunch continues and users have additional access to funds remains to be seen. The site’s representatives have assured clients that the site would eventually be functional and that losses would be reimbursed.
Great post
Do you think this endeavor will take back off? What actions can the authorities take against the current 'on record funds' of the company?
