Oh, so Barry Silbert's Second Market Syndicate won 48,000 btc and Tim Draper won 2,000 btc. Mystery solved!
Well technically yes, but maybe no. Did the net bitcoin holdings in the second market trust actually go up or where they essentially performing arbitrage (bidding at below market value with the hope of being able to sell them at a higher price on the exchanges)

"Informations here :" would be more correct.

Conclusion:

I would say that one person won 10,000 bitcoins, a consortium won 35,000 bitcoins, one person won 3,000 bitcoins and Tim Draper won 2,000 and split it into 4 addresses.

So the Federal entity who was asking for the Bitcoins won in court? Link?

Is this the reason why the price crash so badly? How much did they pay for per Bitcoin?

I am sure Barry Silbert would have come out by now and said if he bought too

I think that unless he want to reveal to the public,it will remain anonym

Looks like they were spread out to several different winning bidders.

We know that Tim Draper got another 2000 BTC.

But what about the rest?

Is there any information on who won those?
This is probably not going to be public information. The only reason that it is publicly known that Draper won all of the bitcoin from the last auction is because the USMS announced that all of the "lots" were purchased by one person and Draper announced that he bought them all.

Unless the other parties say that they won, their identities will not be public.

I hope so.  It seems like nobody knows yet?

I like how Tim Draper just comes out and says what he won right away. He's very transparent to the bitcoin community and world about it.

The usual suspects, I will wager. I am sure Coindesk will summarise the winners when it's out.
