B) He's incredibly lucky
C) He knew the plan
There is a chance that Kevin might be a genius and/or lucky. When I saw it drop on Mt. Gox I was trying to place orders on the way down. I placed several orders during the course of several minutes and it was going lower and lower. I think when it hit .01 I even placed an order but I had to cancel it since it was put on hold since there were no more coins left. Then I bought some coins above $10 a coin. I am glad I did not get those coins. I do not want the FBI to show up at my door.
Here was what I said on facebook right afterwards, " I saw it happening and tried to place orders at $14, $13, $10, and so on but it said a trade was occurring and wouldn't place my order. When it reached around $3 I was becoming skeptical. When it reached $0.01 I placed a trade to see if it would execute but it didn't. So I cancelled it and the last price was around 13. I placed an order for 12, I think, and it got filled. Now Mt. Gox is down. This is just so crazy and intense. A volume of 500,000 is 8% of bitcoins currently in existence. I am thinking only satoshi would own that many coins. I thought to myself...is this a gift from satoshi? Or is it a hacking attempt? Or, some big players? I have no idea."
