I was exploring ME wallet through https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/MiddleEarthMarketplace, so they basically had 632btc before going offline, since they shutdown they've been doing alot of widrawls to the point of currently ( today 2015-11-07 ) only having 220 btc.. that's 1/3 of the wallet already gone.. and probably this is going to continue until they empty it
I think this confirms that they are indeed pulling an exit scam, or am I reading this totally wrong?
I didn't lost much.. and like someone else said the money was already gone anyway as I was going to burn it on drugs!, but I actually liked the market.. I can't understand why they receive so much hate here, that hobbit theme was very cozy :\
Also didn't anybody find their downtime notice very ironic? A wizard is never late. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
So they basically saying they plan it all along, they were just waiting for the right time.. as probably any other market out there...
Well, what you're reading means that the coin inside the wallets are just being moved. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're pulling the plug - but it's not something to dismiss either. They could either be moving the coins to new wallets, or the worst. But looking at some of the addresses they're being withdraw'd to,it's scary.
And even then, who would pull an exit scam with only 250K in funds? I mean, that's just waste in it of itself.
