BTC-E didn't specifically bar US customer from trading there, so the indictment is on the grounds that their services were offered to US citizens, therefore liable to US Law.

iirc they rejected deposits from any American bank accounts and specifically said they won't work with German or US residents or citizens.

Don't know if this is recently, but as a US citizen, I've wired funds from an American bank successfully to BTC-e back in 2013.

Was about to respond with the same, 2013. This could have been before the US gov ruled one way or another about some specific rules for bitcoin.

Yeah, they said this and then made exceptions when users complained.
If I recall correctly
they started charging a slightly higher fee for US wires.
