The financial press isn't buying Mt. Gox's excuses.
Actually it sounds like the financial press is just reposting press releases because… the financial press has no idea how bitcoin works.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity

MT Gox's handling of news has always been suspect. All those waiting for Litecoin to trade there have always known this. But today they took it to a new level. Trying to blame other parties for it's own incompetance and losses was stupid at the best interpretation or downright crooked market manipulation at the worst. The sooner BTC trading gets regulated properly the better, as several have noted, the selloff came 20 minutes before the news release! Stinks....
