Found an interesting article in which one guy did some datamining on some popular exchanges and their volumes:

Apparently a few of these giants are falsifying their volumes. Maybe because a higher market cap would make people think it's a more trustworthy exchange? I don't know if it's really worth going through all of that effort.
Would this have a major effect on the prices? I know we used to see huge differences in prices in the past, but now you won't see much more than a few percent here and there between exchanges.

This is incredible it shows the lengths that exchanges will go to in order to attract new clients and investors. IT doesn't make sense to do this it will get discovered at some point. Standards need to be in place for exchanges and soon they will have reporting requirements in order to maintain their integrity.
