Looks like a lot of money is trying to get out of Mt. Gox by buying Bitcoins and selling them on other exchanges at a big loss.
Or just buying BTC to sit on them and see what happens since in recent days we seem to have the potential to be on the cusp of another run-up. If I had had cash on Mt. Gox over the past few days that is probably what I would do. Now it is true that I have a 2 month delinquent wire which I guess I could re-convert, but I have enough BTC (tucked safely in bed in deep storage) that I don't need to worry to much about such annoying hoops to jump through.
Whatever the case, it looks like a BTC low liquidity event is rearing it's ugly head, and kind of across the whole ecosystem. Perhaps it's an artifact of the decreased velocity associated with the loss of Silk Road?
