The only reason I think the sell off had slowed is because gox delayed crediting bitcoins being pulled out of cold storage. It took gox 10 hrs to credit my private wallet keys onto my gox a/c (just showing up now) which I redeemed via gox even that there was 6 cfms within 90 mins of each key being redeemed. By slowing the supply of coins coming onto the market through their exchange, they actually manipulated it. no loss to them as they stopped charging fees for 48 hrs anyway
