BTC-e and its founder charged in 21-count indictme...
There's been no mentions of coin seizures anywhere as far as I can tell. Usually you'd see some boasting about that.
Perhaps these guys were actually smart about their cold storage?

He wasn't too smart, he redeposited some of the coins in Mt. Gox and that's how they identified him!

Page 6 article 20 says they operated their servers in the United States. If that's true then I'm pretty sure they've already been seized. They were probably on aws

That shouldn't give the feds any more than their hotwallet.

In which case, maybe they also have a copy of the private keys in Russia, and can move the funds somewhere safe.

That could just be the web farm. The clearing might be done from Russia.

Considering the btc-e Twitter says they are going to re-open the site in 5-10 days, the coins were probably not seized.

I love xkcd, but I'm getting sick of seeing that one.
