Interesting update...
Address 1HZwkjkeaoZfTSaJxDw6aKkxp45agDiEzN is derived from hashed empty string "". Two moths ago (!) someone sent almost 1BTC to this address. I guess by mistake. It took as mush as 10 minutes to drain this address.

how would someone make a mistake like that? it doesn't seem probable.

I guess it's always possible to use something like this for money laundering.
I.e.: (1) Send 1BTC to address whose private key is publicly known
(2) Sweep the funds a few minutes later (depending on the amount of plausible deniability vs. risk you're willing to take)
(3) Claim you mistakenly sent the funds and that they're gone

Then mix and be happy. Just an idea.
