Can somebody explain to me how having inside info would in some way drive the price higher given today's (unproven) circumstances?

Here's two examples:

You have inside information that evan will no longer be developing darkcoin, you know that there's a good chance the market will react to this,
so you dump all your darkcoins. If you have a lot of darkcoins, dumping that many darkcoins could trigger a downwards trend ( although unlikely ).

You have inside information evan has just discovered something revolutionary, or that Darkcoin will be used instead of Bitcoin on SilkRoad, you know
that this could have an effect on the value and could potentially trigger a bubble, you could then buy a shit load of coins ( which could also have an effect
on the value ).

Thanks but those examples are not what I'm getting at. That sort of thing could happen at any time. To any altcoin.

I was wondering if the claims of FlabbyIranian69 were somehow causing the buying activity on Cryptsy. I suppose the claimant him/herself could be doing the buying if the exploits are just FUD...
