One of the world's oldest Bitcoin exchanges , BTC-e is still down , with Reuters Business news service reporting the arrest of a Russian man associated with BTC-e in Greece.

Bitcoin news service Coindesk  has  also speculated that the arrested man, Alexander Vinnik, could be one of the administrators of the BTC-e site, known only as Alexander.

While the sharing of first name doesn't present anything close to evidence and Reuters cite 'unnamed sources', the arrest does coincide with both BTC-e's "unscheduled maintenace" and the recent closure of the darkweb's Alphabay.

If I had had BTC in the BTC-e  exchange I would be  starting to entertain the possibility  that the coins are gone.

What are your thoughts?  How much did people have on the exchange?
