How much was BTC and/or LTC worth on March 3, 2014 ?

The markets and their activity was faked but the trading and withdrawal fees AND some of the day trading profits, were most definitely "above board".

If there was a 19-month fraud (ponzi) going on, there are no "above board" profits... ponzi is ponzi... you cannot make "above board" profits while running a ponzi... its not possible
