What about complete disregard of FACTS?

Mind you, the Gox price bounced from $54 to $136, then crashed back to $50, in the whole process their trading engine didn't break a sweat, if they really have a crash-proof trigger why did they not pull it?

What about the numerous lags during the spike up in the last few days?

And what about the multiple charting/exchanging services down at the same time with Gox?

Not to say Prolexic's threat advisory about Gox, obviously you had never paid attention to.

And what did all this have to do with what I do for a living? A troll can do anything for a living, or did you entertain with the idea that I implied you are a paid shill? Sorry I don't consider it probable, as I have dealt with many shills in my life, you simply suck at it that I would not consider you to be a professional.(but yeah, anything can happen)

Now let me offer you a much more proper and elaborated conspiracy theory: A DDOS attack would not cost much, normally something between $200 and $2000, Gox could simply go to a botnet operator and pay him to attack themselves, whenever they feel the need to manipulate the price, it would be much more difficult to uncover then the silly plot of shutting down the service whenever things go out of control.

Try harder next time.
