yeah. I feel Occam's Razor get's invoked on this one. I definitely can believe that it was an inside job in one form or another, but there's no solid proof. Having that many bitcoins in one central location like that can only be called one thing: a honey pot (as in: an enticing source of pleasure or reward). someone eyeing a score that big will make sure they have access, and wait until bitcoin is hitting a peak, then make their move. I'm guessing it's no coincidence the coins were nabbed now.
