It was actually a cascade - the market sell brought it down to 224, but then there was a crush of margin calls and market stop loss orders, which triggered all the way down to 10 cents. Wish I was there to scoop some!

Yep, someone who bought ETH during the pre-sale cashed out (https://etherscan.io/address/0x7d551397f79a2988b064afd0efebe...) which then triggered the cascade.
Please stop spreading this misinformation. If you look at the transaction, the only thing that happened was using the safe split contract which essentially gives the owner equivalent ETC.
I don't think it was confirmed this was the person, or was it?
