Well that's to be expected. I take it it was 1.6 millions worth of bitcoins? Not the worst mistake I've seen to be honest.
Some of the mistakes that still crop up in bitcoin news reports are incredible.
a 1.4 acre site near Lake Tahoe in California has been sold in exchange of 1.6 million bitcoins. 
The transaction marks one among the latest series of real estate deals, but has set a record in terms of its price, where the bitcoins were priced at 2,739. 
The transaction marks one among the latest series of real estate deals, but has set a record in terms of its price, where the bitcoins were priced at 2,739. What??? I just read about that sale at Lake Tahoe, but did they really make those mistakes? What is '2,739'
The price in USD? like over 2k? Or is that a decimal comma??? This just doesn't add up. Of course 1.6 million BTC would be... a lot!1.6 million BTC at a price of $2,739 would mean that the property sold for .... drumroll .... 4.3824 BILLION dollars
Hahhaha, yeah... Well, maybe they did sell the whole Lake?
On the Nevada side they've got some pretty big hotels and casinos, have you ever been there? But yeah, I think they just don't bother researching their story and churn out some arbitrary numbers...
