Understatement of the year and it's only January. ;) That's pretty much everything of crypto coins right now, especially alt-coins(any coin that isn't bitcoin). The inexperienced people prone to fear-driven reaction are getting fleeced.

Yeah, an understatement for sure. I can only imagine what will be afoot in December... Wild guess: ransomware used to drive up the price of an alt-coin.
Isn't this already happening with cryptolocker? I had read the cryptolocker wallet has received something like 23 million USD worth of bitcoin at $900/btc.
