The story
Mt. Gox moved 10,422 BTC (~$739M) to a new wallet with a small slice hitting its hot wallet, signaling imminent distribution ahead of repayment deadlines. Large creditor unlocks of this scale historically create short-term sell pressure as recipients liquidate long-held coins.

The house read
