Why would the gov need to do housekeeping on a btc wallet??

You'd have to ask them.  I'm sure there was some sort of paper work involved and probably some bureaucratic nonsense.

Yes, this move probably started in January.  I could see it now, "Aye for moving the Bitcoin" on C-Span. LOL

Umm, are the public notes from the seized coin address from when Dread held the coins? Because they're pretty much like 'wtf'?

Once it was figured out that this was the address that the U.S. government was using to hold the seized bitcoins, many people thought it would be humorous to send a very small amount of bitcoins directly to the government and include some sort of public message with the transaction.

Could be any number of reasons. For example, control of the coins could have been turned over to another department/office/individual and he/she/they wished to eliminate the possibility that the previous guardian could still access them.

And the IP address shows as Canadian?

There are no IP addresses in bitcoin transactions.

That IP address is the address of the peer that first relayed the transaction to blockchain.info.  It easily could have been forwarded through MANY peers before it got to blockchain.info.

And I doubt they'll sell them all at once. That would be stupid.

Mark who?

And how did he gain access to the Silk Road bitcoins that the U.S. government seized?

Sarcasm...he was referring to Mark Karpeles I am assuming...

The MtGox guy?

As sarcasm, it really doesn't work.  Mark has never been an FBI employee as far as I know.

Looks like multiple outputs to a previous address were all consolidated into a single output at a new address.  They haven't moved from that address yet.  Not sure why they would be consolidated like that, but untill I see more movement, I'm going to assume it's just some sort of "housekeeping".
Yes, maybe cold storage or something.

Where the hell are they going? Someone had the keys? Are they going to sell the coins?
