That bot you speak of laely, to me (not a big player in btc by any definition) proves Gox's hand in controlling the market/frauding the customers. I know people who have a better grasp on this sort of thing should be able to differ market manipulations and legitimate business,but we've all seen the stepped/throttled charts before..
If it is really a gox bot and they are doing market manipulation, why continuing selling few hours before their thursday announce ?
They are hoping to make prices go even lower with their announce to buy back cheap later ?
Seriously, this is really scary to see the bot making the price going down back to 232.23$, buying all coins in between, everytime someone is trying to pump the price up or when just putting a buy order > 232.23$
