I can confirm that my emergency buy order @ $10 was filled...Someone dumped all his coins (or a large enough block) to fill sell everyone's buy orders on the entire market.

Obviously it is an attack on bitcoin. Financial attack. Bitcoin is a young currency based on trust. Attackers try to destroy that trust.

That can't be right, if they were hacked, the bitcoins would have been sent out, not sold. It is too hard to get USD out. Mt Gox won't let stolen USD be removed.

Mt Gox site is down. I wonder if Mt Gox will EVER go online again.
If so, some people will be very lucky, But I really wonder if those who got many bitcoins for cents - will ever get their money or their bitcoins.
When the crash happend I managed to pull out 80% of my BTC (because obivously there is daily limit - I never heard of before...?) I wonder if I will ever see the rest...
Let's hope Mt Gox will not default on everyone!!!

Huge Bitcoin sell off due to a compromised account - rollback
Mark Karpeles posted this on Jun-20 04:07 The bitcoin will be back to around 17.5$/BTC after we rollback all trades that have happened after the huge Bitcoin sale that happened on June 20th near 3:00am (JST).
Service should be back by June 20th 10:00am (JST, 01:00am GMT) with all the trades reversed and accounts available.
One account with a lot of coins was compromised and whoever stole it (using a HK based IP to login) first sold all the coins in there, to buy those again just after, and then tried to withdraw the coins. The $1000/day withdraw limit was active for this account and the hacker could only get out with $1000 worth of coins.
Apart from this no account was compromised, and nothing was lost. Due to the large impact this had on the Bitcoin market, we will rollback every trade which happened since the big sale, and ensure this account is secure before opening access again.
+ + +
So everyone who got cheap bitcoins is basically screwed now!
Lol
Instead they should secure their site already and let it be - I mean what idiot keeps 500.000 BTC in their account at mount gox ? I doubt this was a hack - it obviously was a huge sell-off and everyone who profited from that gets punished now. Thank you!!! (For weeks I had an order buying at 0.01 BTC for a dollar - should a crash happen...now that finally I got a few coins cheap Mt Gox takes it away!)

Obvious market manipulation is obvious.
nice timing, sunday afternoon when nobody can get USD into mtgox.
I don't know what's more hilarious. The fact that somebody just gave away most of his BTC for free. Or the fact that so many people actually fell for it.
Man, I love the Wild West!

So... keeping calm has once again paid off. I was surprised to see $13 after a constant rise this morning, but I didn't worry. However, I was amazed when I saw that it had dipped to $0.01 in the meantime. But since I couldn't do anything about, I kept my calm. Seems always to be the right move with Bitcoin. Just relax and wait for the medium-term.
