If you have money on Tradehill it is time to buy bitcoins. You just heard from MTGOX that they will reset the price at over 17. Good luck

LOL... mtgox has no control of the price. Oh man that's a doozy. The price is controlled by what someone is willing to pay for them.

Yes, but they are rolling back to right when everyone had bids and asks right at 17.5, so it will start there. It may crash quickly though, but I'm not sure.

Yea but what will they do with the coins already removed from the system?

This thread title is misleading.

mtgox itself wasn't hacked. It was just a whale account that was.

It was. Their entire database was posted on the forums (with hashed passwords). The link has been pulled, so I'm not going to post it here, but MtGox was definitely compromised.

I had a buy order at ~16, glad I cancelled it before the drama

What would it matter it would be rolled back anyway

On the real stock market in this situation, trading would be suspended...I think mtgox and tradehill should look into this... The massive carnage could be avoided.

Ok, have to admit they did handle it quite well if this is true. But what happen with all the coins that people managed to withdraw? Find it hard to believe only the hacker managed to do it in time. Or did they block withdraw funds really fast?

I'm pretty sure it's extremely easy to look for all withdraws on the compromised account and talk to the processor that is handling it and get it cancelled. This is easy peesy stuff to do.

Mtgox is doing a great job in this situation.

Not if he sent it in bitcoins, but I have a feeling the price had already recovered to ten bucks or so by the time he tried to withdraw so he couldn't make off with that much.

This also confirms that someone has 500k BTC in his mtgox account and he is most likely the person behind constant price manipulation on Bitcoin market.

Wait a minute. Where did the 500K btc number come from?

250k, but it's really neat that you think this, with no points of proof whatsoever. Cute, really.

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.

I expect they did not sell all the BTC at $0.01, they just sold such a large amount that they went through every buyer (including me) all the way down to $0.01. Every single buy order from the current price at that time all the way down to the bottom was filled before the sell order was complete. Therefore they would have made a lot more than $1000 on the first BTC they sold...

Bitter-Sweet.

I was a little excited about my $2.00 emergency buy order that was filled during all of this.
