Sigh...
Something I'm missing? What happens on Oct 5?
symbolic date, long(ish) story.. read link below
This is all very interesting. I’m not sure what to think about it. I had sort of been operating under the personal thought that this could somehow be related to mtgox. In a few weeks all the folks who got funds from mtgox will be eligible to sell and take long term capital gains. The timing to me feels like this is an American whale looking to finally cash out. I realize these coins weren’t from gox, but BTC is fungible and maybe where his new coins went is better secured. Just a thought.
It could also be a setup, just to cover up the identity of the owner of the original wallets. Pretending to "take over" the wallets by a middleman (mentioned Solomon Bros) and in turn cash out or even convert (sell than buy again elsewhere), in case his old identity is known to someone by wallet address from the old days or so.
Keeping it private in those KYC days?
Perhaps, perhaps...?
A good way to clean the corn, oh look what i just randomly found just sitting there unclaimed for 15 years, so i just take a clean possession. And hire a NYC asset manager to litigate.
Edit: and wtf did i just read? FUD of some exploit just because some old coins moved?
