Because insulting someone and stealing millions of dollars are equal somehow?


Whose money did BTC-e steal?


I suppose you're not very familiar with BTC-e. It had a reputation of taking funds from users -- there was nothing effectively stopping them (until now) from locking users out of their accounts randomly, or disappearing user's funds.

There's probably 5 or less people more familiar with BTC-e than I am.

>It had a reputation of taking funds from users

Compared to the other big exchanges they've mostly had a reputation of not doing that.

Essentially all the people I can find complaining about suspended BTC-e accounts got shut down due to inconsistencies in their incoming wires.

I'm looking at BTC-e user database right now, only 0.2857% of the users are banned. Much fewer than you'd see at any other exchange, but I suppose that's not a very meaningful metric given the ease of registrations.
