these guys seem to now control the BTC https://mempool.space/tx/4c4c573e17cab44df76cfe3437aa8cd07067af357e7b8982fdecc3e94d41b1d7 NOTICE TO OWNER: see www.salomonbros.[spam]com/owner_notice i'd get a lawyer

That's just dust spam. Anyone can send any OP_RETURN to any address. It doesn't mean or prove anything.
If someone wanted to broadcast a message to prove ownership of the address on-chain, he'd do it from that address.

Sure, but on 2025-07-02 address gets dusted with OP_RETURN saying "Our client has taken constructive possession of it" and then two days later on 2025-07-04 it gets emptied, after staying dormant for 14 years since 2011. I think the timing couldn't be more suspicious, and if i had any claim to it I'd at least reach out to Salomon Brothers to confirm validity of the message. Not sure why someone or reporters hadn't validated it with them yet.

Since we're speculating now: I don't think the keys were lost. As I wrote above (4 years ago), it was worth $30k when it was received. That doesn't sounds like something to lose access to. So my guess is the owner had multiple more addresses, and may have sold some other coins over the years. Just not this input.
A billion bucks Cheesy

That's quite literally a truckload of money.

I agree. 6 truckloads of money. There were 6 addresses all with 10,000BTC, all moved on the same day, 4th July.
