The owner of the PDF is listed as Ryan Selkis, so I googled him. Turns out he runs a company that aims to "reduce volatility for consumers while helping hedge funds invest in bitcoin". Way to go with the volatility reduction!

Apparently that crazy document was real. Restructuring coming...

The Bitcoin Foundation should audit, certify, rank, and give a seal of approval for each exchange. Keeping people like Mark and Gox from operating, with users under the false assumption that they will actually get btc or fiat. The exchange itself should pay for this service, and in return be listed as a trusted exchange. We should then point first time buyers to the Foundation page with up to date exchange info.

You should remember that this round of selling coincided with "Ryan 2bit" releasing his insider "info", after it hit here the price tanked. Then the statement came round and it tanked again.
But Fonzie is long so its all good.

I was actually buying BTC on BTC-E when I was refreshing this thread and saw that Mtgox was frozen. I had the price at a minimized window. lol Quickly market order sold all my BTC in BTC-E.. Hope that was the right decision.

Chances of a silkroad takedown effect?
Gox was doing about as much damage to BTCs image as SR.

Difference is that SR take down happened during an uptrend, the Gox debacle started during a downtrend.

Who will Karpelas sue, and what will be the effect?
Sue him for what he doesn't have?

Makes no sense that the usd markets isn't moving. Basically nothing keeping it over 480 but no one is selling either. This if something lately should bring it down?
Whales usually don't sell into no support cause they'd get very poor value. Instead, they wait for a big wall. That's why I always laugh when people are like "oh hey, we have good support here... oh crap, someone just blew through it."
And regular folk moving a coin or two don't matter since they can't make the market move anyway.
here come the walls. 300 btc at 490.
I have nice amount of fiat still sitting on exchanges. Not sure what to make of this now, tbh. BTC-e fucked me a bit with not going below 500.

Hopefully its been priced in for the past 2 weeks.... no more big sells cause everyone already sold on the speculation. Also... they are waiting for the other exchanges to react... the spread is pretty decent right now.

There are always going to be a core "club" of operators as well as others considered outsiders in any field of enterprise (including academia!!)
How true that is!
And I have no doubts which camp you are in Jorge
Depends on the field... I used to be sort of an "insider" in one or two, outsider in all the others... Now I have lost my foot even in those. I guess that being "outsider" in all fields makes me a "hermit".
But, I do wonder if perhaps you haven't got a research grant (or at the very least compiling data for a paper or two) with your academic interest in crypto.
I had and have several research grants (in academia you are dead if you don't have one). But not on cryptography. I do not find the subject very exciting. Partly because I am a "visual" kind of person and cannot "see" things there. (I went into the Voynich Manuscript because I was convinced that it was not a crypto problem, more likely a linguistic one.)

Anyone else starting to suspect that the recent large sells on Stamp were by someone who knew about the statement in advance?
the leaked document suggests GOX was or was planning to arbitrage their own exchange.

1. select sum(btc) from customer.
2. Check if BTC is available.

Wait ... all is not lost.
I heard thru the grapevine that Mark Karpeles is going to try rebooting his laptop ... the original one not the loaner from blockchain.
Things might be okay after that.
