This is an "Ancestor's" wallet. I doubt if there would be any that would hold unto such profit for years and choose to move now, except they never did have access.
And that's the most interesting part. If the owner didn't have access, how did they gain? Did they crack the wallet and it took years? I don't believe that the owner was holding it till this day, there is no way.

The lost hard drive also contains “the real IP address of satoshi as well as the wallet file,” adding: “not that I would dox satoshi ?”[/i].
Wouldn't Satoshi use Tor? Or a VPN? Or an Internet Cafe? The man who stayed so anonymous would never reveal his real IP address.

James Howell lost 8,000 bitcoins[/url] by throwing away a HDD in 2013, 11 years ago.
Why did he throw away his HDD in 2013? Bitcoin reached $1000 in 2013 year. Price started progressive rise in 2012, doesn't make sense to throw away an HDD where you hold some thousand dollars and also hold an IP address of the person that disappeared.

This is crazy, that you can move 3 Million Dollars with just a single click and a fee of 69 cents.
That's not crazy. The crazy part was when we were paying $20 and higher to move a single satoshi from one address to another a few months ago.
