And your point is?

What difference does it make whether the account belongs to MtGox or Elmer Fudd..

Often I agree with you Oldminer, and I'm not looking to pick a fight.

1) Despite the huge overload of Gox threads, this one has a new twist. The Monk idea is clever, IMO.
2) This is also pretty valid, "The single hacked user account makes NO SENSE AT ALL.". I'm OK with the idea of a single account doing the damage, but there is no way any "Old Miner" or big investor would have ever placed that much into a single account, unleass they intended to crash the market, IMO.

Uhm, that is a possibility I haven't considered.
But who would be willing to lose 8 Millions? What is their gain by crashing the market?

What is that old Latin phrase for "who benefits?"

If you are a Government who is threatened by BTC, and can print unlimited supplies of USD, would you have been a bug buyer either early on or the night it jumped from 14 to 19, then 19 to 24 in huge buy moves?

Much of this daily BTC drama is really being written in a Gov office somewhere, and then presented to us*?
