A Maltese hedge fund, Exante Partners, says it has bought up about 82,000 bitcoins or about $US10 million as of Thursday with money from wealthy investors. A founder of the fund, Anatoli Knyazev, said his main concern is hackers and government regulators, who have so far mostly left the currency alone.

Wonder how much their buy price was?[/quote]
10,000,000/82,000= roughly $122.

Trading still has not resumed.
Expected to resume in a bit less than an hour

Their servers are going to feel like they're being DDoS'd, even though it's just floods of people hitting it.

Trading has been going on for the last hour I have been watching the volume rise. I think they have just left the notice up because of the cool down fee-free period.
