I wasn't watching the past 3 days- did something actually happen or just a reversal because, well, we didn't break $300?

http://www.deepdotweb.com/2015/03/18/interview-with-nswgreat-evolution-staff-member/

Thats it? People got robbed again?

Yep.

And a criminal that scammed drug dealers out of $30+ millions (more than is currently sitting at the orderbooks in bids on all major exchanges combined) can dump whenever he feels like it. He's probably already doing it (and won't be finished for quite a while)

I don't buy it. The guy is going to dump $30 million on the exchanges and then what- kindly ask Coinbase/Bitstamp/Kraken for a Western Union? Heck, it's unlikely the exchanges would even let the guy get his BTC back out once they put it in. They aren't dumb, and the high-volume exchanges are known to ask "where did you get that money?" before giving it back.

No, this sounds like a group of professional whales, that sit around waiting for some media event of note, then they take advantage of it in concert to crash the market to mop up big-time.

Unless something really important has happened- I think people are being taken for a ride.....

That's what BTC-E is there for.

Wanna hear a joke?

"Do you know why BTC-E never gets hacked?
Because the hackers wouldn't know where to launder their funds next"

BTC-E isn't so loosely run. It might looks like it, because that's it's "special trademark feature" but they aren't idiots.

A) BTC-E has been hacked before.
B) They aren't going to launder $30 million in drug money when....
C) They could at minimum confiscate it themselves.

BTC-E has kept users funds before, I find it highly unlikely they would let someone move millions of illicit funds through the exchange in a 36 hour period. Maybe over many months, but not days. Their FIAT still sits in a real bank somewhere after all.

They can spread their dumps on various exchanges and that's it (and use various coin mixing services, pump&dump some shitcoins to leave no trace in the bitcoin blockchain and whatnot)
Are you saying that you think those hackers are not gonna get a penny out of their BTCs?

No, I think those hackers are going to get a shit ton of money out of their BTC's. I just don't think they are going to do it this, or the next week. I don't think they are ever going to use the exchanges for that money either. I think Evolution was a scam from the start, they came up with a scammers business plan, they worked on it, they collected the cash and they got out. I'm sure they planned for this and it does not involved "dumping on the exchanges". They are professional criminals who have financed their operation with criminal investment capital. They aren't stealing 100K BTC today for $30 million dollars. They are going to save that money till a)statute of limitations passes or b) it's worth $100 million, or $500 million or more and they will very slowly and calmly find a way to spend it. Or sell it off in bulk to some other criminal investor.

Running a dark market like Evolution is an enormously complicated, risky and dangerous endeavor. They people who aren't professional criminals, like DPR, get caught because the government simply has too many resources for non-professionals to get away with.

No, this Evolution money isn't hitting any exchange, anytime soon. And why would it? Why would these people, who just scammed people into letting them hold their money, give someone else all their money? They aren't stupid. They know most exchanges are risky-as-fuck. They aren't putting money that they earned by committing crimes worth life in prison into other exchanges run by criminals or idiots, or law abiding and AML checking accountants.

This is a a group of dumper whales that just wait for bad news (which always happens) seize upon the opportunity and move into action. We wouldn't really panic if the sale of all those bitcoin were for no particular reason, but link it with any media report and you've got a full-blown freakout.

Like I posted before, it's these jokers doing it together:
