Re: Silk Road: Trail of 11,329.89BTC

Guys, this address is allegedly SR?

I can tell you that it is 1-hop from my Mt. Gox deposit address from 2011. Basically I deposited to Gox, and within few hours, deposit has been moved to this address and everything is still there. Could it be Mt Gox cold storage?

Looks increasingly likely that this was MtGox cold storage all along. It's being processed in a similar way as the 200k coins a few days ago.

The linkage with DPR may also be explained by a DPR deposit/withdrawal to MtGox? That could also explain why these funds were "unavailable" if there was some sort of SR-related investigation going on over at MtGox.

I thought that it was not being split the same way as the gox coins.

In specific they aren't waiting for 6 confirmations on each split...?

Indeed, 1 confirmation per split. Also each branch appears to be forming one at a time as if someone is doing it manually (not programmatically), or at least manually supervising the process - I suppose that's warranted with such large transactions!
