They make a shit load of money from that process only by losing money for their own clients by forcing them to sell way below true market value. They should really be closed down for this by Japanese regulators.

Avoid the laws, and profit.
Why not.

This has been suggested many times but we don't have any proof.

I doubt gox will ever stop tarding.

Of course Gox does their own trading, thats how they lost everyones money, by spending it on bitcoins which they turn around and dump back into the market at higher prices. Somewhere down the line they got too greedy and were unable to keep making money. Now they're trying to figure out if its better to quite while they are ahead an have people looking for them the rest of their lives, or to repay traders (investors) with their capital and start the ponzi over again.

They should be able to fix their solvency problem relatively quickly.   I brought that up in another thread, that they could quickly gain back liquidity if they bought btc on their own exchange and cashed out through other exchanges....

If they were, then bitcoins wouldn't be running at $260 each on MtGox. Seriously people, try to actually think these things through before you start posting FUD everywhere.

There's a chance that bitcoin wouldn't be worth what it is today, despite all their latest troubles

Maybe a small chance. It has started causing more trouble in the recent days.
