With the auction of his bitcoin coming:
http://bitforum.info/t/third-auction-for-ulbrichts-coins-scheduled/305

Do you think, Ulbricht can easily get back his coins if he is still running Silk Road right now?

I mean if he will be released right now, and start from the scratch again, how many years will it take to reach the amount of the coins he lost?

Can someone please tell me what is the relevance of the auction to the bitcoin price.
I heard something that this would help in some bullish runs, but can someone maybe explain in a brief way and the easiest manner why the auction is a big deal for everyone.
