As Mark Karpelles states out in his tweet BTC-E site has been seized by US Authorities.
For me the site is unavailable atm, browser says there are some certificates missing and connection is not safe. crypto-news. Good guy chrome tries to protect me :D
I had some legit coins put there in 2013 and now I'm wondering whats going to happen... Not everyone was laundering money there. It used to be one of two major exchanges in the scene next to Mt.Gox in the past and was one of the longest operating.. Since US Authorities are seizing this site because of involvement of theft´of Mt Gox Coins they would be obliged to give them back, so keeping the coins from honest users would make no sense. But then again It's the US...
Let's see...
