Bullshit 99% ppl used BTC-e because it was fast, reliable and trustworthy!
Also 99% where not smugglers, thieves but just miners and investors which used it to trade
Yeah , and 99% used mega upload to share linux versions.
Why would people use btc-e when nobody really knew who the owners are where are the servers or by who it is run.
Because they didn't ask for papers.
Or because they enjoyed the trollbox in which case they really deserve what is happening.
