That doesn't even look like a pump, looks like people want to GTFO of the exchange.

If you have money on BTC-E, get out now. With BTC exchanges you are never too paranoid.

strange things always happens in BTC-e. Like instant dumps from $500 to $102 or panic buys leading to $3000+.

Nothing unusual.

Btc-e wasn't hacked in 2012, its the payment processors liberty reserve key that got compromised, yes it was their key and yes it was bruteforced, but
the exchange itself and user data were never in question, and i doubt they are now.
Anyways, i was amung the users that sold btc to that "fake" LR USD, and btc-e covered it all in rollback of trades on their expense.

Ah yes, the Italian Job. Seems like it's been ages since that flick came out. Good stuff.

OP, do you have any evidence or you just want to share your paranoia,negative gut feeling and general pessimism?

I think this is 'normal' tradeaction especially because people mentioned about an hour earlier on the trollbox something like
a: "should we pump ppc? It's easy to pump"
b: "or pump bitcoin 10%"


so i would say it's all "normal"

I think we can expect BTC-e to slowly go back to its place in relation to the other exchanges (a few dollars below). Maybe this whole thing repeats later again because i think someone could have made profit with that action if he was smart. In case this was lucrative we'll see it again.
