BTC-E didn't specifically bar US customer from trading there, so the indictment is on the grounds that their services were offered to US citizens, therefore liable to US Law.
- kloncks 9y agoiirc they rejected deposits from any American bank accounts and specifically said they won't work with German or US residents or citizens.
- ptenk 9y agoDon't know if this is recently, but as a US citizen, I've wired funds from an American bank successfully to BTC-e back in 2013.
- aarongolliver 9y agoWas about to respond with the same, 2013. This could have been before the US gov ruled one way or another about some specific rules for bitcoin.
- ryanlol 9y agoYeah, they said this and then made exceptions when users complained. If I recall correctly they started charging a slightly higher fee for US wires.
