Is BTC200 considered a whale now?

Someone is really trying to cash out at GOX before monday. He's doing it right in steps though. Probably thinks there'd be a bloodbath on monday during banking hrs when all other bears will start dumping at max liquidity.

Satoshi
But yeah stuff like this keeps me awake at night

Can't help but feel that someone is really trying to force the market down and throwing a lot of $ at it i286 showing wall going up to BTC5k at $620 so far they've been unsuccessful at instilling panic lets see if the market will hold

1-Yepppp
2-Desperate for 5MM? Happens to be at the time when most banks around the world are closed? Extremely unlikely
3-Possibility, but it's already been few hours after the market sell and no news, so he could've at least spread it over few hours. But a day or two should show for sure
4-Yeah, but again why dump all at once like that at odd hours coincidence?
5-No way to move such amount across exchanges, and highly doubtful that he had the same amount at other exchanges to cover. And arb been there for some time no reason to do a market sell
6-always an option, but how many crazy multi millionaires do you know who throw money out like that
7-Timing just makes this too unlikely.
8-True, but if i tried to pull this off i'd be betting on instantaneous panic, plus that wall BTC1.5k wall was a BTC1.7k wall at $533 and got moved back once people started to go at it. Smells like intimidation tactic.

9-FBI cashing in on those confiscated SR coins? 10k down 40k to go?

Well the only reason i can think of why someone would try to sell BTC10k around midnight US east coast time (and 0500 - 0600 in Europe) is to manipulate the market. Think we can all agree that if he wanted to cash out he could slowly sell of in smaller chunks and get MUCH more $ out. The sell brought gox down from 590 to  500 and subsequently to 475 on lower volume following up. If the goal was to induce panic so the whale could reenter at lower position think it's safe to say that so far he failed as the market held out pretty reasonably so far, and i feel will recover soon. Now if Gox had 70% of the market as in April this would've been much uglier. So unless the price drops down to $400s that manipulation stunt will cause our whale A LOT of $, and hopefully will deter other a$$holes from trying to manipulate the market (and we can get back to a more natural mass panic snow ball effects instead of one person instigating the avalanche) just my 2c

seriously can't think of a worst error message on the exchange that "it's gone" i mean i guess maybe "i'm on a plane to south america with all your bitcoins" would be worse but not by much.  

Kinda curious myself, can't explain it. Doubt it was a n00b how many noobs you know who throw few mil worth of coins around?

Kinda glad GOX doesn't have the market now, with China we might have a chance

Can't be SEPA 6 month is way too long!

Shoot them an email they'd happy to offer extortion fee. From what i've read you still have to wait a month maybe more though.

Also your other option is change convert to btc transfer and cash out on other exchanges, might be less than 5% if you time it right

Oh didn't see it. Open a ticket and ask them. Too many password attempts 

What's the latest processed USD wire? Do they even wire out anything at all?

They don't deal with US banks, so what bank do you expect them to cut you a check from?

As far as India/France i'm not 100% but pretty sure a US bank would have no idea what to do with an Indian/French cheque

They ban most tor nodes

Paper checks are a US thing. No one else has or uses them. You have to have a US bank to issue one with a routing number. So no they can't mail paper checks.

Yeah btc-e no news no information no transparency from btc-e besides "be back approx. May 20" yeah i can't see why this exchanges has so much lower volume than gox

means there was an error in transferring your funds (most likely cause they're low on okpay funds themselves to credit you) support is backlogged for about 4days. So open a ticket and wait 4 days

If they have funds in their okpay account about an hr from my experience. If they're low on funds...who knows up to a week?

Yeah a planned maintenance with few days heads up time or hell make it a weekly think like every sat for one hour. Don't announce it 15min before ninja maintenance
