This definitely looks like a big mess now. Basically someone hacked mtgox and dumped every single account login/password into a spreadsheet and posted it online. The hacker then went into the accounts with tons of bitcoins and sold all of them. Mtgox is the largest (by far) exchange/market of bitcoins. I am not sure it can ever recover from that.

ps: think i will cancel my order for the mining rig now lol
Apparently they are bringing the price back to 17.5
I can confirm this because Silk Road has brought their current BTC value to 17.5 and it is not fluctuating. So they must also have the line on the information, otherwise it was sitting at 13 BTC on Silk Road before this announcement.
