I wouldn't be too sure about the US having control over the BTC-e wallets. Their Ethereum hot wallet[1] (with around $100M funds in it) has been untouched since the website has gone down. I'd assume that there's more than one person at BTC-e having access to those funds. Assuming the US government has access to the keys - why didn't they move the funds somewhere else in order to secure them?
