Yes and no. With the 'owner' of BTC-e now facing extradition to Russia instead of the US, it appears that the US is rapidly losing control of the world monetary system. BTC-e was back up within a month as WEX, so it appears the US effort had no effect. There is nothing stopping someone from opening and operating a cryptocurrency exchange from a country without an extradition treaty. Even countries with extradition treaties are less keen than ever to extradite to the US, especially with the US facing war crimes charges in international courts. The US has made their position on torture clear. Other countries are concerned that by sending their citizens to a nation complicit in torture, they might face legal penalties or lawsuits themselves.
It's ironic, since the US gloated heavily when they took over the BTC-e domain. They thought that this would be another cut and dry Liberty Reserve, but this time they're caught in an international tug of war.
