It doesn't seem a great reason to justify the current dump. These guys are being hunted and assassinated all the time. It's more like Bitcoin crashed and news' portals couldn't find any good reason to explain it, so they just used an event which just happened simultaneously to explain the bearish tendency.
Tucker Carlson claimed Bitcoin was a CIA project yesterday. Put what weight on that you like but any opportunity to beat the price down seems to be jumped on these days.
