The only thing that makes any sense here is that the Mt. Gox trustee is working with some of the central banks and governemnts around the world to suppress the crypto-markets, on purpose. Manipulation is always so some "big money" interests can take a bigger share in some asset or take a massive profit, or both.

Doing an OTC sell of this much BitCoin is the only way to go. This trustee's strategy seems to be deliberately losing them money - and I can't imagine they are THAT stupid, or that they aren't doing it with a specific purpose in mind.

And, it's total Bull$#!t what this is doing to the markets.
