Title: Was the price raise in November mainly driven by the MtGox hackers? Post by: fairlay on August 19, 2014, 03:51:23 PM Latest investigations on the MtGox case suggest that hackers found a possibility to create new accounts with a fake (fiat) balance. They used this to buy Bitcoin and withdraw them. This buys could have been the main reason for the price raise last November. We have just written a blog post on it with more details: http://blog.fairlay.com/2014/08/connecting-the-dots-a-possible-connection-between-the-raise-in-november-mtgox-disaster-and-recent-price-drop/

Post by: Mobius on August 20, 2014, 03:29:19 AM IMO this is the same kind of conspiracy theory that the willie bot is about. There is really no credibility to these kinds of claims. I do enjoy reading about a good conspiracy every now and then but it needs to have at least some level of evidence behind it.
