something i noticed while waiting for the news from japan in BTC trollbox this morning - a big dump happened about 30-60 minutes before the "news" was even announced. what are the odds that a dump happens just right before gox releases their statement? something smells fishy here. i smell a Karp.
Bots. Just before the dump the price randomly decreased a little and stayed there long enough to trigger sell orders - apparently big ones that caused a panic. I smell incompetence and loss of nerves @gox team and mostly paranoia @traders. I may be right or wrong, no idea.
