i saw this coming from a mile away.
if i were an exchange... i would do the same thing TH has, market my self.  
TH would have a vested interest in seeing mt gox fail... but not when the market is so volatile.  it makes bitcoin as a whole seem risky in this early stage.  if this had happened in a few years when bitcoin is entrenched and widely accepted i could see TH having something to do with it...
but in this case, NO.


you need to have a safety shutoff/check on huge suspicious game changing orders
