Don't know the reasons, just that's what it is.
Some guys packet hacked the bronze meru bag (cash shop) and sent packets to make the bag give 70m+ meru instead of the usual 600k every time they opened one.
The bronze bags cost a measly 100 points (roughly $1.20?) and since they could basically do that to any bag, the bronze would be the best candidate. (Silver being 170 and Gold being 240)
The end result was them constantly having hundreds upon hundreds of characters spread throughout the servers with max money and thus proceeding to wreak havoc.
The packet exploit was eventually fixed, but the hacked money had already taken its toll on the market.
And that's the story of how jMS got royally screwed.
They even had events to (I assume) try and combat the overflowing wealth, such as an event where you could "purchase" a seed from the Maple Admin NPC that explodes into numerous items for 200m.
