Plot twist, the gov sold the coins to themselves aswell as accumulating more coin in this year long bear market.  They split up the auctions to push the price down as much as possible all year.  Next up wall street.

Couldn't they simply have kept the coins, and auction them when the price is really high? Tongue

[US Marshals press] The three winning bidders in the US Marshals Bitcoin auction won quantities totaling 27,000 , 20,000 and 3,000 bitcoins. The Bitcoin transfers to the winners have been completed

Just another random tweet, no credible source.

Auctions will almost always fetch "above market" prices because of auction fees, seller premiums, etc.

I think its a credible source.  Anyways coindesk reported the same thing 15 mins later.

Auction really is major bullish in my opinion! It has to be over sport price, man... Don't believe that they went below market price, esp. if that one guy didn't get a single lot!

Third winner.

Anyone want to do some analysis?  Not a new address.

Whats the point of the analysis until we know who the winner of that block of the auction is ?
Anyways the list of the winner should be out this week.

the list of winners may never actually be released

Much to my disappointment. I'm also thinking that they will never disclose who the winner/s was/were due to privacy reasons.

Auctions never disclose the results, no auction house ever does this.  People who expected otherwise were misinformed.

Conspiracy haha. But it could be possible, though somewhat a little probable. Can also be the reason why there aren't enough sources to point out who really bought those coins.

Updated the post.

It seems like there was 3 winners.  3k, 20k, and 27k.

The 27k seems to be a syndicate that split up the coins among 4 winners.

There's reason to believe Cumberland Mining was the syndicate that one.

No news outlets have reported anything yet.

What if they only separated the coins to cause confusion among us? Well, there are no credible sources to base my claims though, and this is just a pure guess.

They should just go ahead and auction off the rest. We should get this whole thing over with so news of another auction can't impede the price that much. Also at current prices, that many coins are still kinda 'affordable' - if we're at $800 again, they're 2.5 times as expensive!

I only see one address here and I don't think they will release the name of the winner. There has been much speculation as who the person is. Since we now know the starting address that is where all the auction coins go to, maybe we can monitor to where it will move on next. Probably this will give us some clue.
