I submit to you an article that was posted about 9 hours ago:

http://gawker.com/5926440/are-authorities-closing-in-on-the-online-drug-market-silk-road

while this article sports a good amount of FUD it is still possible that we are right now
riding the waves of a Gawker Media Pump and Dump attempt. I certainly will not put it past them.

thanks for the info.
Wait was this before or after the ramp? I lost track  of time. It is a pretty grim article, from a outlook for BTC fundamentals though.

Of course any publicity can be good publicity under the right circumstances...

That's close enough to when things started getting weird to, if not draw a definite conclusion, at least cast some doubts.
