Check out this address: https://blockchain.info/address/1BHntfdkTjGp7Z9GTjerpcwKpB9hEdjbM5. That’s the last money I sent last Saturday, 22/07/2017. So what’s the deal? Is BTC-e actually pulling cash from user accounts? Everything is being directed here: https://blockchain.info/address/1FFs5hv6JBScJq63aFZvBaNsP6FwnhVgre. If it was the FBI or something like that, they’d be freezing accounts, not transferring funds out. Take a look yourself and let me know what you think!

The FBI could be moving the bitcoins to a "secure" address. They couldn't be sure that the BTC-e wallets are secure and would want to make sure that nobody else can access these funds.

This may be the case. After Ross Ulbricht was arrested and the Silk Road coins seized by the FBI, I remember them moving the coins (more than 200K of them) to a secure wallet controlled by the authorities. The same thing seems to be happening here.

My coins have also been moved to this address: https://blockchain.info/address/1FFs5hv6JBScJq63aFZvBaNsP6FwnhVgre Currently they are unspent and probably in the hands of the authorities. Has anybody, whose coins have been also moved to the same address, received a balance compensation by wex?

It appears that the site is seized by the US departments of justice. I doubt that you would be able to recover any of the stolen funds.

Their old domain is seized and also some user funds, like mine. I am in contact with the wex support, but all they do is telling me that they don't possess historical data on transactions and orders of the old platform. So they are not able to approve or deny my words. Like others guessed, the coins are probably in the hands of the authorities because of money laundering and some users get screwed.

Good morning, have some news regards btc-e.com? Are they returning BTC to customers?

Have you been in a coma for the past few years? The FSB and the American government will not return criminal money. Of course, you can file claims against the exchange in court, but BTC-e was liquidated in 2017 and you will not receive anything.
