This is an obvious clue this thing is going to be manipulated either way, no doubt the two dark markets colluded together and bought up a bunch of Monero beforehand.

Hell for all we know they make their fortune off longing and shorting XMR and out of nowhere shutter both markets, why keep running the risk of running a huge underground narcotic operation when you can make a fortune off the crypto markets and retire easily?
