When gravity moves at the speed of light?

that's a good question actually. our current understanding is that gravity arises as the result of the curvature of spacetime and the existence of the event horizon does not magically end the influence of all that concentrated mass.
so basically it doesnt need to travel faster than light, the curvature remains. of course there is talk of virtual gravitons and stuff, i think we are not there yet and our current theories breakdown at such extremes.
