I think something funny is going on here with this "NEWS", the man that has inside information is posting on the forum quoting, highlighting "free" from the post made a couple of days ago. Fear appeal? I think they are trying to create panic selling.
Panic selling is a wide-scale selling of an investment which causes a sharp decline in prices. Specifically, an investor wants to get out of an investment with little regard of the price obtained. The selling activity is problematic because the investor is selling in reaction to emotion and fear, rather than evaluating the fundamentals. Most major stock exchanges use trading curbs to throttle panic selling, providing a cooling period for people to digest information related to the selling and restore some degree of normalcy to the market.
As most can see there is major panic in the forum, most will not wait for a "cooling period" and sell. I can see a lot of people getting screwed here.
Things I learned in marketing:
1: There are stupid people out there
2: There are more stupid people out there
etc etc...
Edit: someone is moving a lot of btc today, someone posted this in the forum,
