Ok hear me out. If a whale wants to announce a pump anonymously, he can make a long expensive post on http://bitcoinmegaphone.com announcing the date and time.

If the post is long enough (ie, expensive enough) people will know he's actually a whale and is serious. Then the post's permalink will get spread around the internet, helping to ensure the pump has a good chance of happening.

Thoughts?

Announcing the date and time of a pump renders the whole thing dead. Everyone will be front running each other to get in before the pump "starts" and then when it officially does, everyone will be running for the exit. Could work out well for the whale, though, if they accumulated nicely before making the announcement.
