One lucky guy!! :o Those Bitcoins were not given for free. They were purchased and paid for by the legal entity who won the auction. There was no extraneous luck involved there. If you had enough liquid assets to trade for those Bitcoins, then you could have made a bid for them too. Acquiring those Bitcoins were no different from acquiring stocks of a profitable corporation via auction.

Acquiring those Bitcoins were no different from acquiring stocks of a profitable corporation via auction. Well, that is true. But when the bidders submitted their price in the sealed auction, they must be thinking their prices are good enough to them (otherwise they would submit a lower price). So, the winner should be happy winning the auction. :) I wouldn't call the winner "lucky" but IMO it is reasonable to congratulate the winner.

Yes, they must have high expectation of BTC to buy such a large amount of BTC.
