You know whats funny about that whole 25k thing...he has shown no proof, says he filed a police report but has not shown it, media went wild with it (with no evidence) and to the best of my knowledge no media outlet has interviewed the supposed law enforcement regarding the matter....I smell some FUD...there are numerous more inconsistencies with his story and many believe him to be a troll.

NO early adopter leaves his wallet.dat file unprotected on a known compromised computer. Especially one who claims to be an early adopter and saying he got in later in the same post. If you really read that whole thread you will smell a rat or troll also.

Now that's making claims without proof.

My response was to a comment that was deleted...If you go and read the thread he posted to...which is about the supposed theft last week there seem to be a bunch of inconsistencies with the story...the biggest being he supposedly had 3btc stolen but he leaves his wallet unencrypted, unprotected, on a computer that after having supposed 3btc stolen and flagging a virus threat...either he is lying or he is very stupid...either way I do not feel bad.

As for what happened this morning I believe that the market snapped right back was a good sign...someone dumping .5M BTC at once at the lowest possible amount and it still came back in minutes.

Not only is it making claims without proof, the claims make no sense. Why would anyone with a large pile of Bitcoins want to drive the price down by advertising how insecure the currency can be?
