Liquidity Operations

The question is how rich someone would need to be to fake the volume at Poloniex.

You can’t make a netto calculation on that. If you massively fake volume, you will also find people buying into that fake, since they might not have the information a regular forum visitor has.

Can you give a ballpark figure? I agree that volume at Poloniex may have consisted much of traders not aware of Nu.

Thank you.
For you it would be one look at the BTC and NBT, multiplying the BTC with the USD rate and adding/subtracting deposited/withdrawn funds.
If you think this tedious work of plowing through exchange transaction logs and aligning it with withdrawals/deposits is better offloaded from the “Vice Chief of Liquidity Operations” to unpaid personnel, I conclude that there’s no interest in real transparency and the smoke screening goes on.
At least I feel more enlightened now.

At recent Poloniex trading fees of 0.15%/0.25% for makers/takers, it costs 0.4% of the faked volume in fees. $100,00 cost you $400 fees.

Anyone interested in the potential or likely losses from exchange trading, read.

That’s an abstract calculation. Thank you for the transparency.

Anyone interested in the concrete values look here

or in successive posts dealing with funds at exchanges.

If the deposits/withdrawals with their respective USD values are reported together with the funds at exchanges, one may calculate the trend of the NAV.
That’s one potential step forward!
