- mesozoic 9y agoCould be laundering but even with that you wouldn't want all of the source currency to be illegitimate so only a fraction of it would be. So it would probably cover both cases.
- Alex3917 9y agoIt's not laundering, it's spoofing by some of the earliest Ethereum holders who are trading with themselves on the exchanges to create the appearance of volume and liquidity to drive up the value of their coins.
- cslarson 9y agoOh right.
- charlesdm 9y agoCan't be all spoofing though? That seems a lot / too much?
- mst 9y agoGenuine (but possibly stupid) question: How do I tell the difference between that and the 'exchange temp accounts' theory promulgated upthread?

- herendin2 9y agoPlease provide some evidence for this potentially libellous claim. I suggest you should check the other comments first.
- KomradeKeeks 9y agoBold claim, but it seems it's just the exchanges shuffling deposit addresses, or something to that effect: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15334216 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15334216
