Stop spreading FUD.

There was no hack or some other strange thing, it was just a huge market maker bot burning some money to clear and reshape his range of the orderbook:


This caused a spike in traffic and maybe killed the http API.
The websocket API was working all the time (60s lag though).

That's bad and someone will end up getting burnt goxed.

ohhhh gox has been goxing along for quite some time now.. the only option is to get out.
