Bitstamp trading lower than Btc-e isn't very unusual, it used to happen several times a year, especially during panic sells.

There's no trading right now at Bitstamp.
What makes you think I don't know about that?

It means, make noise, demand excessive accountability, don't take hand wavey answers, don't settle for vague reassurances.

Terminated.
What's up with people?
Stop panicking and chill out. You don't know anything, speculating isn't doing anyone good.
Wait for MtGox Bitstamp and let's see what happens.

I'm sure I was seeing this post all over the place in Dec 13, Jan, Feb 14...
What's that supposed to mean?

Good thing that the decentralized BTC exchange (with zero counterparty risk) is now open and fully operational.

Who needs BitStamps or Gox Mountains, Polyoniexes, or MintPals, or anything but

I'd be out of Stamp in a second.  After all if you "chilled out" when you had funds with Gox, you'd still have nothing.

That wallet looks really fishy. Just check the transactions fees, they are crazy high, there's no reason for them to be so high unless someone is freaking out and wants his transactions to confirm as fast as possible (even if they would get on the next block also with fees order of magnitude lower than these)

Certainly looks like a "panic mode"

Question is whether this is bitstamp trying to salvage bitcoins ASAP, or a thief tryong to steal ASAP.

Most of the incoming TX can be tied to bitstamp by taint analysis, even smaller ones.

edit: looks like a thorough cleaning of Bitstamp hot wallet

so we know why the btc price is crashing.. 18k btc dumped are quite a lot

The hacker is not that stupid to sell immediately because his real identity would be revealed.

He need time to mix/launder this amount of coin. The actual crash might still happen in the future.

So some people got inside information about the hack and started selling before it got public?

dont think the hack has caused any difference in price, if anything it held the market up.

Oh, and you work with Bitstamp and know for sure this is Bitstamp's address? Please don't spread disinformation.

First transaction (0.55BTC fee!): https://blockchain.info/tx/a32697f1796b7b87d953637ac827e11b84c6b0f9237cff793f329f877af50aea

Second transaction (1BTC fee!!!): https://blockchain.info/tx/07a78d55fc17a2809e031116e71ac63faa6c2ea9e29480b4fa59031683b506b8

And the list goes on.

Did I say that it's Bitstamp's address?

I said it's still in that wallet and hasn't been dumped.

Take your own medicine and don't read what isn't there.
