There was a thread explaning how these addresses were generated.
But i can say the the amount sent there can not be spent.
Basically all bitcoins sent to this address are lost.
I know how to generate these addresses, as I have some on my own. But this one is REALLY long

But i don't think that this address is generated using vanity.
Because it takes too long and lots of power.
If it was generated then the owner must have the private key to spent these bitcoins.
It has something to do with the hash and other things that i don't understand which I've read here(can't find that thread)
