That it was sold 30% (!!!) above market price?  Could someone find any news links or any person from say CoinDesk confirm this?

Rumor only for now:

No confirmation from any news source yet.


...


Why would anyone trust this?



The Sparood bitcointalk account links to the twitter account that the rumor came from (https://twitter.com/cryptokees)

He's not even a senior member.

The link in his tweet unshortens to http://www.coindesk.com/third-usms-bitcoin-auction-bidder-interest/ which makes no mention of 30% above market price.

Everything is based on the word of a full member account who was promoting a shitcoin like plankton.
