baaaahhhhh I am going to call my bank and see if the fraud department can help me by telling me if there has been any transfers from them I'm not sure if they will discuss\disclose information but it's worth a shot.
perhaps the recent rise in their Bitcoin price (and increase in price differences between them and other markets) is from people canceling & buying btc to get out?
Maybe it's a sign of the end for mg
the spread between exchanges stays between 10% so this theory is wrong.
Saying that is like discounting evolution because we cant find the missing link, or believing bitcoins are for criminals because criminals use them. I had no numbers, but gox still is the leader.
DHS may not be a hoax but it is a joke. IMHO.
Regardless, does it not seem plausible that people are starting to cancel transactions and in the process raising the price as they jump ship ? I am no expert, but in most markets the largest exchange has the lower price (supply\demand), and why is the exchange that is having extreme delays and shit service also have the highest price?
I don't know how significant the effect on price the cancel and buy out would be, but it's the only explanation I have at the moment. Admittedly it's not a complete explanation.
