"===OPERATION SHOCK AND AWE
===Date: Monday 2013-04-22
===Start time of event: 15:30 UTC
===Goal: Bring bitcoin price < $30 US dollars
Members, here it is, today's timeline of events.
15:30-15:45 UTC - Spread bogus AP press releases to 50+ national US and British media outlets and 100+ local outlets indicating exchange site Mt. Gox under investigation by Japnese government for securities fraud, with seizure and asset freeze soon
15:45-16:00 UTC - After initial publication of bogus AP press releases, spam story on reddit and upvote with sock accounts, spread panic in comments using sock accounts
16:00 UTC - Several sellers lined up for a coordinated dump of 250,000+ BTC which will crash the price to under 100 to correlate in time with publication of bogus AP reports
16:10 UTC - Massive coordinated http packet flood (distributed F5) from botnet of 1,000,000+ compromised machines on the following sites:
- https://www.mtgox.com
- https://btc-e.com
- https://www.coinbase.com
- https://www.bitpay.com
- https://www.bitinstant.com
- https://www.bitcoitalk.org
- http://s2.bitcoinity.org
- http://bitcoinium.com/
- http://bitcoincharts.com/
16:30 - 17:00 UTC - During the ddos, buy only from Bitstamp which will not be included in the ddos but was included in the coordinated dump.
17:00 UTC - Stop ddos, buy as much cheap bitcoin from MTGOX as possible as quickly as you can
17:00 or later - Bogus AP reports will be corrected / debunked as hoax, price will rebound
Potential profit 200-300%"
Well due the fact that Bitstamp is down due to an "unscheduled service outage" it's not looking good for their plan is it
