Because he has obviously has a good arbitraging deal going. Would't you milk the cow for what is't worth if you have the change to do it?

How is reassuring people helping out his arbitrage opportunity? If people weren't reassured, the price on Gox would probably be higher even, right?..

As he is in Norway he needs someone local with a Japanese bank account, so he has teamed up with someone and in lieu he puts in a good word as part of the deal.

I don't quite see what putting in a good word is going to achieve? I think he is just optimistic and reading some of the signals. He has said a few things I know are incorrect and would lend me to believe he is not working with someone inside Japan to arbitrage. But you never know. Still, what does putting in a good word exactly do?

calming this tread down. Without him this tread would be one way street, you dont want a stampede. Believe me you feel a lot better when every other post is reasuring words.
He has some deal going, he is not stupit.

If there was a deal going on, then why wouldn't they just say so? Everybody wishes that someone from Gox was answering questions, instead of some Norwegian dude.

Also, if he's an arbitrager, then why would he want to calm people down? A stampede would be perfect for him since Gox' bitcoin price would inflate further...
