Assuming he would actually hand over those 600k bitcoins. He'll be in jail for the rest of his life most likely, whether he hands over the coins or not.
Why wouldn't he? Unless he's really stupid then those bitcoins are only part of his stash and he's got more in another account that the feds don't know about.

Yes, I hear there's a great market gap in online drug stores. 
Or you could create a fork that redistributes FBI stolen Bitcoins.
is this possible?
yes, it is possible to create an altcoin.

That could be years from now. Bitcoin might have a huge crash from $3000 down to $1200... but your strategy of holding cash waiting for it won't work out for you.
As someone who came into BTC after the runup to $250 and then the drop my options of gaining more coin are the following
1. Buy it with USD which increases my cost per coin average and increasing the amount of USD I have invested
2. Gambling it on Sportsbooks (doing decently at), BJ tables or Just-Dice
3. Investing in Just-Dice which is more gambling
4. Investing in BTC stocks which imo all have diminishing returns in regards to BTC
5. Mining which is proving unprofitable now
6. Day Trading and trying to catch waves created by news or FUD, in which I believe the biggest is going to be FBI vs. DPR
So my real options are
1. Store in and come back in 5 years and see what its worth
2. Try to double it in the safest (USD term wise) way - Daytrading
Or, you know, you could start a business using those coins as starting capital and earn more coins by producing an actual product.

^253 coins sent to the FBI's wallet. Interesting...

Yeah, that IS interesting!
Could be an operative returning the remainder of his coins after closing the operation.
The Bureau also had a wallet for the coins in the "Mitt Romney extortion" anybody watching that?

Perhaps they are going after vendors and confiscating everything they find unencrypted?

By the way, Mr. Loaded just moved his stash. Wonder what he is up to... Time to panic?

I doubt he's selling. Even so, he would do it as a private deal since mtgox is unsafe and the other platforms do not have enough market depth
I guess he just feels unsafe to store 40,000BTC in an used address and moves it to a new one
Do all those belong to G. Maxwell ?!

On the topic. If it's known that they manage to strike a deal with DPR on the >600k, the market would instantly go into Armaggedon as soon as it hears the news.
Honestly I believe this is the case and why I am sitting on cash at an exchange waiting on.

Supermax for a skinny nerd who ran an illegal website... Seems logical they would only put Aryan supremacist/murderers/rapists in those kinds of prisons. Not some guy who ran an obscure online drugs marketplace.
Why does being an Aryan supremacist warrant supermax?
You equate bigotry to murder and rape?
Is it not possible for an Aryan supremacist to be a nonviolent noncriminal?
