World's biggest hedge fund D.E. Shaw has sold entire holding of google shares

Bloomberg, world's biggest hedge fund E.D. Shaw has sold its entire holding of Google shares according to last filing before 1st q they hold more then 1.5 mil shares representing at that time more then 600 mil dollars. Someone really wants this story to be hit this morning: it is on Bloomberg every 30 minutes. Smart money have left Google, only guys who are managing "other peoples'" money and retail will be holding the bags, fund managers will later sue the management of Google and will keep all their bonuses, what retail will do? Those who are trusting to all this price targets and "strong buy" will be hit most.
