50k BTC would be enough to dump the Bitstamp orderbook to about 0$.
At least for a few minutes.

Anyone here who has coins locked at mtgox? Whats your current position there - btc/fiat? If by any chance they will "fix" withdrawals - will you stay on gox?

There was not nearly enough bid depth to sustain those prices. Two exchanges (finex, BTC-E) got wiped out with a single order.
Many trustworthy. Let´s say some sociopath basement guy with 300k+BTC can do this again a few more times, just for the lulz if he wants.

I am providing some USD loans on finex. I was surprised to see that they were still there after the flash crash. Not liquidated and not closed out because they are so under water. I guess I'm glad the exchange dropped their max leverage to 2.5.
Cause the trades were rolled back, else all lenders would have gone bankrupt..I think it halted trading right after that point (when stamp hit 530).

I am talking about leveraged longs. BTC-E is a leverage trading platform via Meta Trader. Pretty sure this was a string of forced liquidations.
They should not allow monstrous leveraged positions to be build up that are larger than their own thin order book, this is just insane.Right, Btc-e is taking Huge risk , they are GAMBLING with Customers USD deposits by allowing 1:3 leverage. If those are indeed forced liquidations, btc-e suffered millions in loss.
but they get all the funds when somone get liquidated which happens more often then not
probably very profitable taking on this risk.

There is a chance for another scenario
BTC-E owners sold their own 8.5k of BTC to drag the price that down, to hit all stop loss of orders with 1:3 leverage on their MT4 platform.
Few months ago, I got my account wiped out with $35k in Metatrader with 1:3 leverage,the interesting thing is that on all exchanges price did not went under $425, but on btc-e it just triggered my margin call at $375 and went up from there. I felt that the price was manipulated just to wipe my account... Here might be the same scenario..

Btc-e is supposedly providing the liquidity for 1:3 leverage, so btc-e are making the huge loss together with you when your positions are closed.
I'm hearing btc withdrawals is taking longer than normal to appear on blockchain..
