How big was the bribe???

Edit: The OP is a liar, YAC is not going to btc-e!!!

It's not just about the pump and dump aspect, there is another angle to it

You may not know this, but these new coins are very profitable for scammers, since the only way to trade them when they first come out is on forum posts or spreadsheet exchanges. Once the coin has hit an exchange, those 'trade scammers' move onto the next coin. The mods are usually too busy to investigate the scammers so they keep scamming over and over on the same account, sometimes pulling in several $1000s worth of BTC or LTC a day.

Take this crook for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202292

He was a big proponent of YAC: Here and here

He was a scammer and an even bigger YAC shill. Very few people paid attention to the scam accusations thrown at him and called me a retard (and a YAC-hater ) when I first pointed it out. Some people even sent me PMs cursing me for spreading FUDge The only reason people finally paid attention to his scamming was because I started hitting every YAC thread with scam accusations (which I later removed) this morning and he broke under the pressure. It may not seem like he scammed much (I'd estimate between 15-25 BTC on that account), but you have to remember that is likely only one of his many accounts.

Lot's of people have been saying this ever since BTE was released on April fools. You're just stating the obvious

You have more posts though, so maybe more people will listen to you

We nailed him guys

Remember to be diligent, he's probably waiting for his new account to get out of newbie jail.

Depends on whether the bribe was sufficient or not

They only spiked like that because they hit btc-e. Bitbars would've probably spiked to 10BTC each if they hit btc-e instead of bter.

This is just a coincidence and has nothing to with YACoin, but I searched for YAC FUD in google and discovered this: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=2586388&highlight=yac

+1 I just said the same thing in another thread

I think we were a little too harsh on the poor guy

It seems that coins fail as soon as they hit bter

Has the dumping completed already?

Yeah they will be alive, just that very few will be paying attention to them, and the number of people mining them will probably be in the double-digits. How often do you hear someone talk about tenebrix or geistgeld? They used to be on the exchanges. Now they're kept alive by some miners and are stable at a value of nearly 0

No it doesn't, I proved your point wrong. Besides, CNC and FTC are quickly losing value by the day. BTC conference is coming up and the BTC rocket is preparing for launch. All these wanna-be poser coins are going into a long hibernation soon

He's just angry that he missed the dumping opportunity and is now stuck with worthless bitbars...

FTC traded for 0.0009 BTC on btc-e yesterday

In a few days you will see someone calling for YACoin holders to boycott bter.com because it's a scam and they are trying to 'drive' the price down

Because it hasn't been officially announced yet.

I put a small buy order up so you guys can sell

Let the dumping begin!

What do you think of the great YAC supporter Limitless? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202292

There was a thread yesterday where he was proposing to take over the YAC project and hold the 1 million YAC pre-mine for bounties, but the whole thread seems to be gone now
