There is plenty of evidence of wash trading occurring on Bitfinex and other exchanges - there are also many accusations that the exchanges themselves wash trade, to pump up their own volumes. They don't need to pay their own fees!

Taker fees are 0.1-0.2% on Bitfinex. Wash trading would be too expensive.

Where is the evidence the exchange itself is doing it?
