I haven't investigated this yet. That's why the title is "investigate?".
This is just seeing what other people think to find out if it is worth investigating.
So far all my points have been dismissed..
In terms of input from Fluffy, he is welcome to answer my above questions, this is an open forum

That is really shitty man. We aren't children on the playground gossiping about each other. Why would you post on the forum without first talking to the person you are accusing and asking them wtf is going on? You are no better than every fucking whiteknight SJW posting on tumblr. People like you make me sick.
Grow up and stop acting like a kid. Just send the dude a message and tell him what you're worried about. Are you so scared of him that you're posting this shit on a forum thread first? Coward.
Hi - no disrespect, but what exactly is Fluffy's word on any of this supposed to prove? If my concern is a structural problem with Monero that is unhealthy and I ask him if he's using that to gain market info and then trade big on Poloniex where volume is all locked in and he says "oh no, not doing that" - then I shouldn't have posted this? And he's free to come here to discuss, why do I need to contact him privately?
You sound exactly like a fucking SJW! This just reinforces my belief man, SJWs are just cowards pretending they're doing everyone a favor and saving them.
This is what SJWs don't realize and what you don't realize: Maybe by talking to him you make him realize there's an issue, and he works to fix it, and then afterwards you're able to jointly release a statement pointing out the problem and what was done to fix it. Or you talk to him, he explains something to you, and you get a litebulb moment and then understand why it's not a big deal (I'm not saying it isn't a big deal I'm just saying this is one possible outcome). Or maybe he's a complete asshole to you and then you actually have! something! to! post! on! the! fucking! forum! except! your! stupid! opinion!

No disrespect again but I am not invested in Monero and I never lost anything due to Monero so not like I care to go to all that trouble.
And i'm not disclosing a technical exploit that then renders Monero vulnerable based on the info I posted (which was speculation anyway) - I am saying the structure enables whoever owns MyMonero to exploit the market in financial terms because then it allows front-running on Poloniex where all the volume is. And the other things like no viable official wallet after so much time compound the problem and make me suspicious but how can I know what's happening behind the scenes. The anonymity problems and letting Google in on the action is secondary today I would imagine.
Not much more for me to say - solution is get rid of MyMonero (by making a viable / usable official wallet that most users then actually adopt) and spread volume across exchanges: scam not possible, problem solved.
Also i'm not the person to look into this any further as I already explained i have conflict of interest so I think I should leave it there
