Title: Could the sell-off have been caused by pirate cashing out?
Post by: Shadow383 on August 18, 2012, 01:31:54 PM
So, a lot of big news the past couple of days, with BS&T closing and people waiting to see whether pirate will pay back depositors or if it's a ponzi as many on the forums had speculated.

What I want to ask is - could Pirate already have cashed out his remaining BTC (being responsible for the crash)?

He'd then have an entire week to move the funds (and himself) somewhere safe, before people realised that they weren't going to see their BTC again.
