The oldest and the biggest Russian bitcoin exchange platform BTC-E.COM has come back. The new name is WEX.NZ
1.5 months earlier their website was down and nobody could get access to their accounts (full of money of course). The administration of the website wrote in their Twitter that the site had been seized by FBI and 45% of the funds were arrested.
Evreybody was following the news waiting for what the administrators would say.
The administrators promised to launch another platform and return 55% of the money back to the users. Onle few beleived. The others were cursing them all over the crypto-forums.
So what we've got finally? The exchange is back, the accounts are alive, the users have access to their money (with some limitations). The exchange gives 61% back right away and the rest of the debt is converted into their debt tokens which are now traded at half price (i.e. 1 US dollar is now about 50 cents). That means that the users can return immediately about 75% of their funds.
The administration promises to buy out all the debt tokens in the future at the rate 1:1 (nobody knows when).
So what do you think, guys? Is it a perfectly planned scam or is it a wonder? We have seen several exchanges go down and never come back returning nothing. Maybe these guys are Robin Hoods of today?
