Ah, that's true. If BTC-e.com cooperates with authorities then the gap can be closed. But regular people can't force BTC-e.con to disclose that info. Also worth noting that, at least in my situation, BTC-e.com doesn't have

So... what do you think about the salaries of teachers in public schools? Also, I bet bank & oil execs believe they make the world-go-round and add a lot of value too. After all, banks & oil touches pretty much all our lives as much
