The last time I checked (~6 months ago) Cryptsy was bringing in a grand total of about 4 BTC per day in trading fees. And Paul Vernon says that Cryptsy has ~20 employees (I have heard as high as 30) in this "article". Where does the money come from to pay all those wages and rent for a big fancy physical office and such? What exactly are all these employees doing? Certainly not customer support, that's for sure.
They switched to charging withdrawal fees instead of trading fees. Just haven't decided yet if the fee should be 0.5% or 0.05% or maybe 5% or 50%.
