A large problems with these scare campaigns is both how well organized they are, and how they pin the price back down.
100's of tweets go out randomly claiming a hidden pre-mine/ re-hashing the tired instamine fallacy, after those gain momentum and a team of coordinated pro-trolls come in here claiming all kinds of problems, thus causing a panic sell.
The very people who organized this buy up cheap coins and place sells wall for the way back up, suppressing the price, and making huge profits in the process.
