The only thing that makes sense is either the spike data is inaccurate or this is another exchange heist, maybe someone figured out how to use Bittrex's btc wallet to buy these coins and somehow figured out how to hide it from Bittrex which would explain the volume being absent from the last 24 hour volume info?
Trying not to sound like a conspiracy nut, but this spike makes absolutely no sense.
any time theres been a heist, scam, or log-in takeover we have heard about it within 30 minutes. its been close to a day... If you weren't in IRC when this guy was explaining why he bought the book, or dont believe solid bought the last 1 btc for sale for shitsngiggles your tinfoil hat is probably to large to even receive this message, let alone process it.
The 25k btc volume must be an error then. What those guys did, if true, is almost too stupid to believe. Were they on a massive coke binge?
