Why the rumblings of BTC-e going down?

[Elwar]

I see it here and there, people mentioning the likelihood that btc-e will soon go the way of Mt. Gox. What is behind this?

I pulled my LiteCoin and PPC out of there a few weeks ago. More because I did not plan to trade them anyway, just never really got around to putting the clients on my system.

I also saw that over 70k of bitcoins was moved from an account I believe to belongs to btc-e. https://blockchain.info/address/1CbR8da9YPZqXJJKm9ze1GYf67eKAUfXwP

So what are the other rumors?

They had some problems with withdrawals on the 10th & 11th, possibly due to the ddos attacks. Their support should handle it better. Maybe some fud is being spread from a certain rival exchange too?

I've deposited & withdrawn a few times since, btc & other alts, no problem at all, pretty much instant. Of course not many people mention when everything works as it should, it's expected.
