Tim Draper wins all bids apparently?!

Looks at the date and the number of coins ... that was the last auction ... sorry
It's 29 mins old according to google.
I don't care how old the URL is ... read the article ... FAIL
EDIT : Or just believe it anyway and buy lots of coins cos a URL on google said so ... your call
The article was posed today. that's actually a fact. It had 6 views before me, and now it's 40 views.
One word = repost
(I could post the magna carta if I wanted to, still would not make it new(s))
No the article is from today.
It seems there are a lot of people posting that the auction was 30,000. Just lots of people out there with blogs and thin on facts.
This guy says 30,000 and 27 bids. He seems to have merged the facts from both auctions.

Are you taking the piss? (bit harsh)
Two more bs articles do not make the repost, not a repost..
I think you will find he copied the headline and pasted from here

But really you knew that already right? (right?)
did you read it "The Second Bitcoin Auction" and "27 Bids" it was published yesterday. It can't be 30k and 27 bids and be a repost. How can someone repost from July with facts about the number of bids (27) for a second auction 5 months in the future.
Like I said, they wrote the article yesterday and got their facts wrong / mixed up. A bit like you really.
sigh....
You posted this article, and tried to make out like it was in someway correct, people pointed out that it was not, myself included and I quote "I think you will find he copied the headline and pasted from here" note the same headline , to the piece you posted originally... the headline from July, stating that draper had won, that is what this was about right??
He was not even bidding for the entire lots, the headline was old... and the articles, written yesterday or not, were full of shit..
I think I have my facts in order, and really I am not sure what you are trying to say? I am saying headline old, draper did not win the entire second auction, and it was obvious from the get go that the article with old headline was full of shit.
That is all.
