Apologies if this has been addressed yet -
did anyone follow backwards to where these coins came from?

If this is mentioned earlier already, can someone maybe please just point me to there?

I haven't read much about it here, but I think the creator Satoshi Rising knows how to cover his steps very well, otherwise, due to the popularity of the puzzle, we would already know who he is.

The transactions seem to originate from address 173ujrhEVGqaZvPHXLqwXiSmPVMo225cqT which had a Total received amount of 56,457.80848111 BTC and a Final Balance of 312.04932734 BTC

Definitely a very big player of some kind.

Would be great if someone could find out who did this transaction.

We know that the funds came from this address:

https://blockchain.info/address/173ujrhEVGqaZvPHXLqwXiSmPVMo225cqT

It's quite a big player, with transactions every day.

Is this an exchange?

Like someone was saying here before, the guy that holds those 256 addresses has now some power over us, if suddenly we see that the addresses from 50 to 256 are spent, we will all feel a bit scared, no? Cheesy

We wouldn't know if they were actually cracked (and this would raise some questions) or if it was an intentional transaction from the holder...

What is certain is that none of us knows who is behind this.
