Tracing back on this one in Blockchain.info you see lots of 50 BTC per block mining coins from 2010

Such a large fund won't market-buy coins on exchanges, but arrange for its acquisitions to be done off the books, possibly striking deals with early adopters.

Ya, you just look up early adopters in the yellow pages. Then when you get a hold of them you say, hey you haven't sold for years now and I want to buy a bunch which will probably drive the price up. The increase in price will then bring on a bunch more buying from speculators thus increasing the price even more, but will you sell to me now off the books?
Where do you guys dream this shit up?
That's "guy" not "guys"

Not the Feds, these are the addresses associated with them and the Silk Road case and they are still intact. If I had to guess I'd have to agree with whoever said it was Fortress.
what's Fortress?

(We hope) Going to launch a bitcoin investment fund (ETF). Huge influx of cash into bitcoin if it happens......
oooo thanks!
I never count my chickens with these things though. We've had several false starts already ...... but one or more *will* actually happen in 2014, and fortress are massive. Let's hope its them.

Gotta love the zero fee to move 29M USD. Whoever this is, they don't seem to want to support the bitcoin network...
That was my first observation, also.
It's fascinating to me whenever one of these huge sums gets transferred. That has to be a tense couple moments, transferring a sum that large.
That's so crazy, transferring that amount with no fees. Sounds like somebody who doesn't know what they are doing. Must be the feds

It makes those 60 btc transactions look teensey.
Definitely a sizable transaction.

I check the address about 10 times when moving a few coins let alone 39,000 of 'em.

What are the odds that it's a 15 year old who happened to run bitcoin.exe for a while in 2011, just for fun ?
I think you mean 2009. GPU mining was already pretty competitive in 2010.
People assume that there was a period of years where lots of people did/could-have run the qt client and CPU-mined fortunes. That's just not the case.
fortress moved coins 
wow man thats crazy , thats so much money! If i had hat i would not be so happy:D
mo money mo problems! bu yeah The fee is also low. i seen some transactions where btc goes 90k the highest transaction in history i think.
