The hacker would have sold some of it for sure, but I don't think he has sold all of it... the price of bitcoins would have fallen to less than $520 if he had sold all at once.

I think the hacker already sold all hacked bitcoins because the hacker want secure the bitcoins. If i were the hacker, i will sell all them step by step. The hacker will get rich instantly.

usually these hackers won't sell the coins for many years at a time. they keep the coins in a couple of bitcoin addresses for a couple of years at least and when everybody started to forget about hem, that is when they start running the coins through mixers and selll it very slowly.

Probably not, something like that would inflict market too much. They will sell it in waves, we felt first one. Next one no one will notice, people will wonder why price is going down. When someone move big amounts with bitcoin, probably that cause price fluctuate so much.
I know I`m not an expert, but that is logical explanation. Who knows what hackers have in mind with millions they have now. We can just imagine here what they did with bitcoins they stole from bitfinex. When you opened this topic, Mt.Gox can also be considered in here. Are coins from that robbery sold, or someone still keep them for price rise? I will guess that they have a stash, like some investment, and back up plan if they spent all money.

They are already sold. Haven't you checked the huge volumes that day? Volumes matched exactly with the stolen amount. No need to worry about that anymore. If they haven't sold them not get tracked, they could always use coin mixers anyway. Once the coins are stolen it is over. You can do nothing about it.

Anybody who takes the chance to sell off those coins are going to be looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives.
They will have to answer to a lot of people once they get caught.

as many people said that last month the prices dumped because they were panic selling after those incident and i don't think the hackers already sell their bitcoin and maybe will difficult to them to bulk sell because every exchanges do not accept suspicious activity
The coins at this point are too hot if you know what I mean. If the hackers (they surely won't) deposit their coins in various exchanges, then the chances to have these coins "seized" by the exchanges in question are very high. I am quite sure that they will take years for these coins to let them cool off.

i think No, because the amount that had been stolen by the theft from bitfinex is not small . its amount will definetly change the price of the bitcoins .
if the btc had been sold then there will be sharply fall in the bitcoin amount will take place but there is nothing like that instead of small change in rate due to change in the value of doller .
It is big amount if they hack the all bitcoins from exchange site.. they are lucky that we can not report them to the police this is our problem about online anytime we can lose if we do not know how to protect our site.

I do not know, I feel that he sells bitcoin such small amounts so as to make him do not get caught. sold at very low prices in large quantities, will make bitcoin prices to be down, and tu will be very dangerous for hackers, because it might make getting caught

If the hackers dump their bitcoins in bulk on any exchange it will make the bitcoin market price go down a lot and the sale will be clear. September 14, 2016, 10:17:58 AM

I think the guy hasn't done very much with his Bitcoin, unless he's already sold a lot of it so far. I would expect him to be mixing some small amounts for the next while and not bringing much attention to him or his addresses. He'll likely lay low for at least a month or two, and chances are he won't go back on the internet for a while. Just unplug all his stuff and not do anything else, to try and keep his identity a secret.
The dude has $63,000,000 stored away now, he won't have to do anything ever again if he doesn't want to.
There's no point in having all that cash if your not going to use it. Might as well return it to their original owners. The dude has $63,000,000 stored away now, he won't have to do anything ever again if he doesn't want to.

do we know any of the addresses belonging to the hacker? i always see an address being officially published by the hacked site. but this time i can't find any. am i blind or finex never published it?
anyways those funds are not going to be sold this soon. they will probably stay stationary for a very long time, even a couple of years, before the hacker moves them.

If the stolen coins aren't sold, are they going to be sold eventually? I find it odd that a hacker would perform such a large attack and steal lots of money, only to just throw it away. My personal guess would be they're going to launder the coins, and spend them/sell them for cash. However could such an attack be politically/socially motivated rather than just for the money? Sounds like the sort of thing certain "hacktivists" would do.

In a sense, getting away with the hack is the easiest part, really. The real problem is laundering the funds in a secure way. Using one (or several) mixing services is fine in theory, but you would still have to trust a centralized service which, for all we know, could be run by law enforcement. Imagine pulling off one of the biggest thefts in record history, only to lose everything because you got caught in a LE honeypot!
It is for the above reasons that I'm assuming the hackers know of a better way to go about the whole process. My best guess would be that they're really part of an international crime syndicate employing money mules to cash out the funds and launder the stole lucre through "regular", time-tested money laundering channels.

What do you think guys about the funds from bitfinex do you think they already sell those bitcoin in the other market.? thats why the price of bitcoin is down or thats why the price of bitcoin is down its because they already seen the news about hacking bitfinex? an many people saw this news and sell their bitcoin thats why the price of bitcoin is down?
Probably portion of it is sold already but majority the coins is still sitting in thewallet. Well, I think the thief must be careful on selling the coins so he won't traced. The process of sellinng might take sometime for it is a huge amount of money. One thing is can it be traced if the thief use a mixer?
