BTC-e is considering issuing tokens via an ICO to cover user losses. On Bitcointalk today, the exchange said it now had control of 55 percent of its reserves, with 45 percent remaining under control of the FBI. The FBI had seized databases and wallets from the exchange, while the US Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) said it wanted to fine it $110 million for disregard of AML laws applicable to operators serving US customers.
