Here it comes:
https://blockchain.info/address/1CbR8da9YPZqXJJKm9ze1GYf67eKAUfXwP

They sent a few small transfers, most likely testing the procedure before moving all bitcoins.

The question is, whether the address they moved it to is an exchange or some sort of preparation for an auction or private sale.

Either way, I see a quick drop in prices soon. Then we can get back to climbing without this hanging over everyone's mind.

Edit: my bad, wrong address

No doubt it might bring on a price drop simply because holders seem to enjoy a fun reason to panic.

There ain't no way in hell it's going anywhere near an exchange. There are people and organisations lining up to buy them and they'll be squirreled away before we know it.

I'm not sure where you got that address from. A quick glance at the known seized coins from SR shows they haven't moved in a while:

The address you linked I believe belongs to BTC-E.

Ahh, you are correct. I had a listener watching the FBI address and I added a few other big addresses just to get a heads up for any big movements. But my e-mail said "Withdraw from FBI address".
