The market is up again. Someone dumped a lot at MtGox.

All other markets ads usual, including SSL, EUR, TH(USD), and others.

It looks like someone dumped half a million BTC instantly on MtGox, and some lucky people made a metric fuckton of money.

Hoping Mt. Gox doesn't reverse the funds or that they weren't hacked

Bought a metric ton at a cent each

But was it for real? Who, with that much BTC, would have dumped it for pennies when they could have sold it for much more if they just sold it little by little?

500 kBTC is 8% of all BTC in existence. Only very few people in the world could have had that much.

Satoshi decided to cash out, and spread the wealth around.

it didn't crash, nor it glitch out. Simply someone cashed in their own or stolen BTC in a public market.

MtGox seems overloaded now (with connections)

Hopefully Mark switched it off until things are figured out.. I really hope this was just someone who wanted out and wanted to enjoy the ensuing panic..

If it's been hacked, then well.. that's just shitty
