All correct!
I have been affected about 5 times (ish) during the last 4 weeks when Poloniex had an alt coin pumping insanely.. And suddenly the entire exchange freeze for 10-15 minutes.. And when it start to work .. the price is DOWN 20+% while NO ONE has been able to sell a single coin.
Its been Ripple, LBC and a few others.
After the last big "SCAM" (Friday) it had become so obvious that it's insider trading in cahoots with Poloniex themselves that i just moved all my coins out of there.
FYI. Poloniex is/has become a SCAM from the inside.
Im not the only one that think that.. Just read what i posted 3 days ago.
