Since 25 July 2017 the large cryptocurrency exchange, BTC-e, is not available to its users. According to the messages posted on the official Twitter page of BTC-e, it all started on 25 July from the warning message about technical maintenance in the data center. Throughout the following 24 hours the users were warned of potential access problems and assured that the engineers are doing their best to get BTC-e back online. The last tweet, posted around 8:00 PM (Moscow time) on 25 July 2017, tells that the exchange is still not available.

Forklog.com reports that meanwhile, the users of this platform suspect that the funds might have been stolen by scammers and even name the approximate sum – slightly over 66,000 bitcoins and post the number of wallet the scammers presumably used to keep all they stole.

There are still no official comments from the representatives of the exchange, on 26 July 2017 BTC-e remains offline.
