Haven't they claimed to having established some sort of connection to a regular broker or exchange over there. Is there anything true about these rumours? Greece, etc... I don't know... The volume happening in Greece seems to be pretty low, still, and I don't see why they would prefer an exchange "nearby" over an exchange in their own country (which apparently is trading on very low volume at the moment, still)
As far as I understand using an exchange like BTC-E may help EU citizens avoid various taxes.
Really? But I believe we're merely talking about potential tax evasion, right? I can't see any way to legally save taxes by buying/selling/trading on BTC-e... Also I still think that exchange has quite a dubious reputation. The other day someone was claiming he/she was waiting for funds to be credited for 10 days and the only thing BTC-e's support was apparently saying was "Not today, but maybe tomorrow" or something along those lines.
