I wonder if this bettor has inside information. That's a lot of money to put on the line without some sort of information to back it up.

Considering that there are still 14561.94104029 BTC on source address, 250btc is a small number for this person.

Edit:
I thought maybe it could be a shared web wallet, mtgox type, but I would say no.

That is the MPEx public inbound address. Any customer that ever withdraws anything from MPEx will likely have at least some coins that can be traced to that address (and in that sense it works as a mixer).

I'm sure he'll force close the bet and negate all bets after we ship so he doesn't lose the 250 BTC.

Wanna bet?

Good one.
