fuck 3 things possible here.

1. rigged for certain group of rich people

2. sell bit coins, use information they have to raid/steal it back

3. sell then crash bitcoins - much more likely if/after ulbricht is found guilty

or all of the above. really not something you want to see. surprising though seeming William Ulbricht hasnt even been found guilty yet.
