Are there ~22000 bitcoins offered on the given market? Wouldn't his funds have to clear escrow first? Most likely a pump and dump scheme.

Sure there are plenty of people announcing they WILL be buying $1M, just not any who actually plan on buying anything.

It's conceivable that someone could make the announcement, drive the price higher through pure speculation, then dump their BTC for a higher profit.

It's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye
Nobody announces they WILL be buying $1M (future tense).  Case in point we have multiple clients who have bought over $1M to date. No advance notice, off-exchange, no slippage, secured over the course of weeks.  Patient and silent, locking in a solid entry point and the market is no more the wiser.

I doubt that that post is the reason for the recent slight rise in btc/usd value...

Post is now 39 minutes old and net result appears to be that a bunch of buyers jumped in, pushing past the recent $48 wall

seems kind of suspicious... curious to see where it goes, but not expecting a whole lot to come of it.

He says he has a long-term strategy in place...  Build trust by saying something and doing it, then screw everyone over by saying something and not?

This guy is claiming to buy $1 million USD of bitcoins very shortly. Traders on MtGox appear bullish on the announcement and price is rising accordingly. Should be interesting depending on truth of statement and outcome.
