- Flow of cheap btc starts to decrease the btc value of external market... Through arbitrage prices in Mtgox increases and settles above Mtgox's average cost of btc buy. (Caveat : Mtgox should not / cannot make customers withdraw more than 250 BTC)

- Prices find equilibrium and Mtgox purchase BTC in the external market for average $400 each... 750 BTC that is ...Deposits this back to itself...

Gox don't have an unlimited supply of actual BTC. No way they can "sell" enough elsewhere to equalise the markets without the public perception of Gox's liquidity changing.

How do you differentiate between regular guy and mtgox in the external market? The actual market doesn't exactly know **who** sells **where** at **what** price. Even if you know the answer of "who" as mtgox, the others doesn't seem obvious.

I don't, that isn't what I'm saying. Gox can obviously directly manipulate their own market if they want to, but for them to bring down the price on another market to $400 (for a non-insignificant amount of time) they would have to sell more coin than they actually have ... i.e. they can't.

Price drop then would not be necessarily just from the Gox or ones that bought in Gox cheap selling... Other people will follow selling... actually it's happening right now... 8.87 price decrease in one day... that's not Gox price on coinmarketcap.com
