I read he was an early adopter and known BTC millionaire, he could have just kept people from withdrawing the money from MBTC just in case the stunt he pulled with his own money went bad, so at least he would still be filthy rich.
(i have no proof for nor against what i described above, it's just an hypothetical scenario)

Good point. It would be hilarious if that's what ends up happening.
Hilarious is the wrong word.

got any block explorer data on accounts with large amounts in them? thats a small fish so I'd imagine if he just sold the 25,000 BTC bruce wagner had and a few other big accounts he wouldnt even bother touching the small fries
No, I only kept spare change in MyBitcoin. I'll try to see if any of the accounts my withdrawals came from have anything interesting. Just checked, nothing interesting.

If half the BTC are missing, and everyone is reporting that it looks like coins weren't moved ... how is it happening?

causing panic selloff to make price dip more... then buy back all the bitcoins you just sold at the new low price like 8 and then he has made potentially millions of dollars and then bought back all the bticoins he originally "stole" from mybitcoin.com users The problem with this "theory" is: as you say when someone sells it puts downwards presure in the price of bitcoins, but you forget that when someones buys it puts upwards presure. So if he started buying again at $8 the price would not have stayed there nicely for him to buy all he wants at that price, it would have gone up big time. This scams dont work unless there is a massive panic selling from other people than the scammer. Otherwise the scammer will loose a lot of money. If the money from MyBitcoin.com is being sold at the exchanges, most probably whoever is dong it is trying to get out of bitcoins, not buying back.

As someone stated before:
1. Start a bitcoin business 2. Build rep 3. Disable all transactions 4. Claim you were hacked and walk away with the money 5. Buy some strippers and cocaine
definitely number 5

Piper if that is the case... and the only value of bitcoin is whatever you can scare people into... then it deserves to die really
Oh, that's a different point entirely. All I'm saying is that if you have about 100,000 BTC and know what you're doing, you can make money by manipulating the market. I'm glad you see this. This exchange reminded be me of this Monty Python bit scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHFXG3r_0B8And before anybody else post this video on what they believe Bitcoin is, I will: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAaWvVFERVA&NR=1

If it was really that easy, anyone with a bit of cash would be able to produce practically infinite wealth.

Caution! Brain fart ahead. Now everybody has a chance to own a block of 50 BTC by solving one of these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIicxgqSH4g&feature=relatedWith my idea, all six sides have the exact same image of the Bitcoin logo. You buy one and it's shipped to you, but not solved. Your task is to solve it and send it back, whereupon 50 BTC's (minus shipping cost) is entered into your wallet and another one is sent for you to solve. rubikcoin.com

As far as hawking wares, rubikcoin.com is not a real site/company. Also, the YouTube link doesn't represent anything I'm even remotely attached to. Therefore, I'm hawking nothing.
