What a shitty move, BTC-E. Way to scam your customers. They announced that FTC would be delisted and then as soon as it dipped to less than half it's value they said "Oops! Our mistake!"

I lost a lot of money because of this scam.  Embarrassed How can anyone trust this exchange now?  Huh

You mean like how Litecoin isn't going to GOX? Exchanges have many other ways to make money then just trading fees. They are clever. Maybe not nice, but clever. It goes to show just how speculative FTC is. If you sold, even low, you are better to be out of it in the long run.

So I assume you are out of LTCs too? 'Its going to Gox' - rises  to 0.04 BTC; 'hang on, its not' - falls to 0.013; 'Gox maintenance' - rises to 0.018; 'oh, it was just maintenance' - falls below 0.01.

Every coin, including BTC ('SR closing down! Sell! Oh wait, this may actually be good news') is subject to speculation. What Btc-e did was a very low an open scam.
