BTC-e was a cryptocurrency trading platform primarily targeting Russian auditory with servers located in USA – until the U.S. government seized their website and all funds in 2017.[1][2] It was founded in July 2011 by Alexander Vinnik and Aleksandr Bilyuchenko,[3] and as of February 2015 handled around 3% of all Bitcoin exchange volume.[4] The platform was eventually taken over by Russian Orthodox oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, and funds from BTC-e were used for the war in Donbass, under control of FSB.[5]
It was a component of the CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index since the index’s September 2013 formation.[6]
BTC-e was operated by ALWAYS EFFICIENT LLP which is registered in London and is listed as having 2 officers (Sandra Gina Esparon and Evaline Sophie Joubert) and two people with significant control: Alexander Buyanov and Andrii Shvets.[7]
The US Justice Department attempted to close down BTC-e on the 26 July 2017, when they charged Vinnik and BTC-e in a 21-count indictment for operating an alleged international money laundering scheme and allegedly laundering funds from the hack of Mt. Gox.[2][8]
