Is this source credible or is this something where everyone can post "news"?

Is this real news or just an attempt to induce panic?

Also, why are you posting this in Development & Technical Discussion?

[ibminer]

It is definitely on cnn.com
IF it is fake, I would guess a CNN blogger has been hacked?

Just curious as to why the site would still work... I assume most seizures happen without notice.


EDIT: I will also mention the 'full story' link at the bottom doesn't work. Odd?  (it links to the NSA leaks story: http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/21/politics/nsa-leaks)

Probably another load of panic causing randomness to drive BTC-E sub $90 again(which is due to happen any moment)

Dark days.

I'd say its fake...  '4 hours ago' mismatching the 'June 22nd' date, the first line of the article saying the '22th', the inaccurate full story link, comments disabled,  Something just seems off on that article.

Year and as R1mlin is spamming this on every board, it's deficiently just to induce a Panic.

R1mlin I have reported you.

Seriously hope that is fake.

Also, June 22 was a Saturday, not a Friday.

And this is the only blog post by "CNN's Melissa Gray and Dan Lothian".

To follow-up... the page has now changed. It started switching between '4 hours ago' and '1 minute ago' multiple times as I hit 'refresh'... now it has stuck at 1 minute ago... and ultimately is now 3 minutes ago... etc.  The main thing I noticed that has changed about the page is that the 'full story' link is now GONE.

Now it says 3 minutes ago.

It looks like this is all false, but it did get me thinking how bad it would be if the US gov really did close them. Would they be able to?

post this fakes

Seems that's what it is. Article is definitely fake. Checked out the referenced "Supreme Court of California" ruling, but can't find anything.

Props on inducing panic though..gives me another chance to buy in low while the newbies dump their coins.

i cant find the article from http://www.cnn.com/POLITICS/

[18RATTT]

after doing more research..
the CNN article was published june 22 (about 6 days ago)

what happen in 6 days ago? BTC-e announce they going to cut CNC out of their website.. the price of CNC drops to 0.0001
and then, perhaps a CNC dev/fanboi is out for revenge and create a FAKE CNN article that stated BTC-e is out of business.

because if you go to cnn.com/politics that article is the only one that has its comment turn off. why is that??
And this is the only blog post by "CNN's Melissa Gray and Dan Lothian".
and the time thing, its keep changing from 22min to 9mins etc...

Exactly. It's a creative bit of FUD, but easily debunked just by reading the article.

It is real fake
