sources say, the Mt. Goxers from Japan took a huge cut when they offered some "London Whale" types to shut down trading, exactly when it suited them.
 Huh

 Huh

credible?  Embarrassed

Whether it happened or not, it would be inconceivable that such a conjecture would not pop up and make it's way around.  Along with all manner of others.

Certainly such a thing strikes me as worthy of 'hypotheisis' status.  Going forward we just see how future facts stack up against this and other hypotheses which remain viable.

  edit: fix statement slightly.

sig spam anywhere and self-moderated threads on the pol&soc board are for losers.

I also heard reports that aliens, elvis and the jewish/russian mafia were involved. They're trying to shut down bitcoin maaaaan...


Take your fucking meds and shut up. Don't go "bllluuuuuuuuhuh I got owned by a zero-sum bubble time to blame it on someone more intelligent than me who got out at the right time". You knew the risks about buying bitcoins especially considering this exact boom and bust scenario has happened repeatedly in bitcoins past.

Unlikely this is true but it is possible which is the disturbing part about Mtgox having so much power.
