http://techcrunch.com/2014/11/02/bitcoin-brothers-aim-to-disrupt-bitcoin-mining-with-new-more-powerful-supercomputers/If these guys do dump 200 to 400 Peta onto the network, the difficulty will triple for a day or so until everyone shuts down their miners. This could be the death blow for most other asic producers too as very few will buy anything existing. Plus this will put ALL the network power in the hands of a very select few. It seems that decentralization is an extremely hard thing to maintain. There is always the push for consolidation when there is a potential for profit.
