It has been pretty much confirmed that coinmarket.io has scammed it's users and we talking about over 2000 btc as a modest estimate alone excluding the value of the alt coins that have been taken.
Not only was this a financial loss but a time wasting / emotional ride for it's users as they kept stringing the public along thinking they would come back online to try get as much deposits as possible
before finally going down for the last time yesterday.
It's one thing creating a scam coin but exchanges are far worse beasts, if this is going to be the new trend then I don't see much of a future for virtual currencies without heavy regulation.
