Hello newly registered HitBTC shill, and welcome to Bitcointalk!
The evidence presented is a general mounting body thereof. The main issue with the exchange you're shilling for is that the trade volume is clearly false, and users have demonstrated that orders around theirs get sold or bought by the fake volume bot, and yet their orders don't get met.
Given that CoinMarketCap relies heavily on data not being manipulated, and HitBTC's volume is so paltry, I can't see a reason
not to remove them. Once they've built up an honourable reputation they can be readded.
Just like to point out, that HitBTC is also the only real exchange for Bytecoin, which happens to be Fluffypony's main competition in his role as Monero lead dev (with Monero being a Bytecoin clone).
So delisting HitBTC will "memory-hole" Bytecoin's market cap for the benefit of Monero market cap presumably, and this coming from Fluffy on the same day that Bytecoin overtakes Monero on CoinMarketCap, and the same time the other Monero core dev Smooth is very active on the Bytecoin thread accusing it of being an '
abject fraud'
I don't know if this is true, and I don't hold any Bytecoin or Monero or use HitBTC, but one has to question the ethics and timing here.
(earlier today Bytecoin was higher but here are the 2 now)
