I'm wondering if BTC-e is maintaining a low fractional reserve ratio of PPC because yesterday I tried to withdraw PPC from BTC-e and only got 60% of what I asked for. The transactions all showed as completed in my account history so I opened a ticket with support asking that they process the withdrawals and they credited PPC back to my account. Today I tried to withdraw the remaining 40% and received an additional 10%, with the remaining 30% showing as a completed withdrawals in my account history but there is no trace of them on the blockchain.

This makes me suspicious that BTC-e doesn't have the PPC available and is employing a low fractional reserve ratio on PPC. Given their known interest in the PPC competitor Novacoin I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing this to increase the PPC supply beyond what exists on the blockchain to depress the price.

Have any of you had trouble withdrawing PPC from BTC-e? I'd love a response from BTC-e as well about whether they only maintain a fractional reserve of PPC and other coins.

Finally, if they are out of PPC and a bunch of us try to withdraw PPC now they will need to buy PPC and raise the price to induce deposits to fulfill the withdrawal requests
