According to Greenwald, Snowden revealed:
Any chance the Mt. Gox collapse, or at least the news coverage that followed, was a psy-op to damage bitcoin?

Gox always did seem to try so hard to manipulate the price, remember the lag on the run to $266 and the "market cool down" on the drop to $50. Then we have no cashouts < how is that possible for a huge successful business not to move banking? Then all the BS with LTC.
Nothing would surprise me with gox, "finding" the remaining missing coins or mafia running the show still possible imo.
He also says, "Karpeles seems to want to revive MTGox himself," although Nan Xiaoning heavily discounted the likelihood that could ever work. His own company is bidding on Mt. Gox's assets. However, should it turn out that all along the remaining bitcoins that disappeared have merely only been "temporarily unavailable", it would indeed become an interesting scenario. See:
