Explanation

"Bad news" and we are rising! More please!  

20k+ shorts on finex 

If the price goes up enough, the short will need to cover their contracts and everyone will be looking up.

FRESH FIAT MONDAY !

I bet many of us sent money on Saturday or Monday morning, it will arrive on Monday and Tuesday.

Bitstamp trading engine paused? No action for 15 mins...

BTW Bitstamp doesn't allow unverified accounts to trade at all, simply you cant trade you cant deposit and you cant withdraw before verifying, and if you had an account before the verification was required it just get blocked until you do so.

Am I the only one who thinks that this is fishy as hell?
Feel like Stamp is pulling a Mt. Gox soon.

You're saying that just because they don't wanna get in trouble with governments/banks, they have a coder whose completely incompetent?

Very interesting assumptions. You might wanna visit a therapist though

Alright, let's see what happens in the next few months.

LOL
What do I win now?
Podyx, you might wanna see a therapist though

Bitstamp Service Temporarily Suspended

We have reason to believe that one of Bitstamp’s operational wallets was compromised on January 4th, 2015.

As a security precaution against compromises Bitstamp only maintains a small fraction of customer bitcoins in online systems. Bitstamp maintains more than enough offline reserves to cover the compromised bitcoins.

IN THE MEANTIME, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE DEPOSITS TO PREVIOUSLY ISSUED BITCOIN DEPOSIT ADDRESSES. THEY CANNOT BE HONORED!

Customer deposits made prior to January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC are fully covered by Bitstamp’s reserves. Deposits made to newly issued addresses provided after January 5th, 2015 9:00 UTC can be honored.

Bitstamp takes our security and soundness very seriously. In an excess of caution, we are suspending service as we continue to investigate. We will return to service and amend our security measures as appropriate.

Sounds to me like someone lost control of the private keys... or screwed up their code...
