So apparantly mtgox is shut down if the price shows sign of a crash.

I certainly can't see how something can go wrong.

It's foolproof, up, uP, UP!

Isn't it the other way around? Gox staying down just makes people more bearish, so it would be a terrible way of trying to manipulate the market upward (good way of manipulating it downward, perhaps).

1. When the price plunges, the volume per minute is always much larger than when it rises, did you get the memo?
2.Gox was lagging like hell when the price rallies in the previous days, but I know you never bought so you would not know.
3.OP is a troll.

Market manipulation.

Market manipulation.

There was a DDoS attack on Mt Gox that coincided with the "crash".

You know guys, real life exchanges have automated fail safes to prevent algo bot's panicking. On wall street it's like a 10% drop in less than 15 minutes suspends trading!

They call it the "circuit breaker".
