I've answered your question, Pirate.
Now you answer mine please.
Is there any hard evidence of any value producing economic activity of your operation except taking deposits, paying "dividends" and converting BTC into USD?
i.e. marketing, PR and damage control do not count.
I think it is a simple and fair question that any legitimate business, even anonymous one, should be able to answer quickly and easily.
If I pulled all my influence on the market things would be much different. Everyone assumes I'm always applying the brakes (ask walls) in the market but the door swings both ways. I've been present in the market since day one.
