look at the whole risk.  You have to leave $ on these exchanges to take advantage of an arbitrage opportunity but so many exchanges hacked...

There's about 400BTC at approx 11.10.  You could have sold for maybe 11.30.  Subtract 1% fees:

print 400*((11.30-11.10)-(11.20*.01))
35.2

So you are making 35 bucks on this unprecedented 160k bidwall, if you are willing to expose yourself to 4500 USD constant risk.

How can there still (2,5 hrs after the 160k BTC ASK wall was placed at 10.70$) be so many BTC for sale below 11.1 $??
(Before the erection of that wall price hovered around 11$)

Current MtGox price: 11.35$ and rising..
