He just dropped a 16k bitcoin address on the speculation thread, insinuating that it is the dividend payout address (which would be about .04btc / share) without any explanation.

Either it's someone playing a sick joke, or someone with insider information.

A franchisee could possibly have this information by following the flow of their payment to AM and would have the incentive to hide their identity by creating a new account.

I'm hoping this is legit... a .04 btc/share dividend would be amazing.

I do not believe it is a sick joke (not insider info either imo), due to the following reasons:

1) If you look carefully at a few of the transactions from that address, it has received BTC from (directly or indirectly) from F2Pool. F2Pool is also known as Discus Fish, which is located in China (citation needed) and is rumored to be one of the few pools where AM is mining. Check the wallet link and click "Related Tags"

2) Looking at F2Pool/Discus Fish's mining user list, the largest miner in their pool (via 20 min avg) appears to only have started to receive payments from only several days ago. This is similar to age of the mentioned wallet address as it too is also a very new address of being a few days old.

3) The mentioned address is has also sent & received BTC from a wallet address rumored to have received BTC from AM sales. Again, there have been no references other than the quote below (and I've spent quite a bit of time looking too) -

coins are on the move from the sales thread BTW  Grin

im not very good at making any sense of it though, lots of coins started going to some of those around may june

Now these three examples can only be considered speculation at best (perhaps even grasping at straws) but it does make one wonder...
