You are right, my comparison is absurd. bTCe work to return funds to their customers though, not those of mtgox. Nor should they need to, if indeed the accusation they colluded with MTGox hackers is false

Irony of a dead system. MADOFF: Rich man looses money of old timey rich people, government scrambles to find and repair. MTGOX: e-BTC collude with hackers to hack MTGOX, FBI takes down e-BTC, FBI keeps money.
