Careful guys - don't send any steem or SBD to poloniex. They stopped accounting users deposits about 2 days ago which means that if you send any SBD to poloniex, you won't see it on your exchange account.
You can see steemians reaction on https://steemd.com/@poloniex - people are sending memos asking where are their money.

It's not the first time poloniex has stopped accounting SBD deposits and withdrawals but it's the first time when it was accompanied by huge SBD price pump.
My speculation: they cut the SBD / Steem supply by stoping accounting deposits so users can not sell their assets. Then they pump the price and sell their own SBD / Steem to buyers that are not aware of the situation (the SBD peg to USD). Once they're sold out they resume the deposits and the price tanks. Maybe they are in cooperation with bittrex or maybe they just taking advantage of the situation.
Funny enough, while searching for the image for this post I found this topic:

Buy loads of a coin
Out of the blue, disable deposits to the coin with no explanation
Haha! Supply shortage. Prices rise.
Sell loads of the coin, bring price back down.
Re-enable deposits for the coin.
Seems that more people are suspecting this kind of operations from poloniex.
In the meantime bittrex seems much safer option to sell Steem / SBD although I heard about problems with deposits there too - stay cautious and send first small amounts to see if it goes trough.
Please resteem this or write post about it on your own - people have to stop sending SBD to poloniex.
