I follow this story further on http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-price-drops-new-chinese-bank-rumours/
Coindesk seems more serious in comparison to all these rumour news sites
Topic: China orders banks to shut Bitcoin exchange accounts - page 2. (Read 3440 times)
how much longer until we will know for sure that this was a hoax ?
True or not, looks like markets coming back up after a ~10% drop on the news...

The requirement, which Caixin saw in a document the central bank's headquarters recently sent to regional offices, says money can be taken from the accounts before the deadline, but no deposits can be made. Banks that fail to close the accounts will be punished, the PBOC said, but it did not elaborate on what those punishments would be.
Caixin would be taking a big risk lying about seeing this document. I'm gathering Bloomberg feels the same way. It may turn out to be rubbish but it doesn't look good either.
So basicly someone reposted old article that was proven to be false? Or is there this time some proof behind it?
No, they claim its breaking news, here is the original article bloomberg referenced dated today:

Isnt this news 2-3 days old? Wasnt it dismissed by some china central bank or whatever?
No this is fresh this morning (or last night in China)So basicly someone reposted old article that was proven to be false? Or is there this time some proof behind it?

It's OK, they are just trying to bring the BTC price down so they can buy more coins cheaper.
Trying?
True it has dropped quite a bit but, are you panicking?
Bad news trying to cause panic selling
You mean they as in Goldman Sachs?

When the news service Caixin reported this this morning CoinDesk called it "Unfounded rumors"....
Now bloomberg has picked it up, as factual news:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-03-27/pboc-orders-banks-to-shut-bitcoin-exchange-accounts-caixin-says.html
If this is true I'd say its a pretty big bummer for the Chinese and a blow to the overall Bitcoin economy, but not a death blow....
Thoughts?

They haven't picked it up as factual news, they are simply reporting what Caixin is reporting. That's why it says, "Caixin says" at the end of the title and includes in the first paragraph, "according to a Caixin news report today." This allows them to report on the Caixin report, but can back track if it's false and simply blame Caixin.
In case it's not a hoax I wonder what the bottom price could be ?
So either it's another hoax, rehashed from the old story and people are so stupid as to fall for it
OR
China for some impressive coincidence just did what the hoax said they would
Either way, weird.
