Explain this address

[GODLIKE]

I was just dicking around on the 100 richest Bitcoin addresses, when I found this:

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/19PPeuu4jPjqtefSQ2FDgKmNJ88Z5wiuJt

I can't understand.
This guy bought 10000 BTC, and then let them there, and OK, an investment for the future.
But then you see there's dust and dust and more dust added to this address.
What could have happened here?
Did he buy some cloud mining scam and put automatic payment to this address?
Just curiosity.

Spammers are sending dust amounts to rich persons.
Some transactions even have attached notes

Found this address being suspected to be holding GOX fund here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=492776.msg5437308#msg5437308
And nothing special with this address, some spammers are just sending dust bitcoin to post their public messages and even someone trying to lure people to invest in some shady projects/ideas like this lol

i see many people here begging for money, but i`m looking for an investor for my app-idea.Mr. Zuckerberg payed for Whatsapp $19 bil....

It be a dead address e.g.

Nothing of any importance. Why is this even a question? Almost all of the answers will be pure speculation. This is the standard dust spam with or without public notes. Nothing to see here.

Did he buy some cloud mining scam and put automatic payment to this address?
Just curiosity.

Nobody can answer this question unless there is exact on either or both of the addresses.

The small transactions coming to that address are probably not from a cloud mining scam or anything like that as the time or dates of those transactions has difference of months and i don't think a scam cloud mining site would keep paying until so many days.

LOL I think they are curious also to that address that they sent the said amounts. Just for fun maybe, and since this got our attention also. Maybe the owner let it sit their, just to hide his stash in bitcoin. Hope he did not forgot his private keys.

I would like to have that account in my possession . I think it could be a rich person or a group of investors who speculate on the price of the bitcoin to make a nice profit.

You can see for a period of 2 years the account was holding 10k to decrease to almost 3k, then come back to almost 8k in the account. I think it could be a legitimate account of only one person who have the opportunity to make an investment of couple of millions of dollars.

Lauda is right no one can give you the correct answer for this question its purely their own opinion unless the true owner is here and have evidence that he owned this address from a signed message I guess.

[Zadicar]

When  i saw the  particular address ,  i assume that  wallet  might  be abandoned  or  lost  already hence the transactions is  just steady and  those dust   , i dont know where  they do come from  even  on small  amounts which is somehow a mind  boggling thing. No one could answer this .

A lot of people use small amounts of bitcoin to send to famous addresses to troll with signed messages, or as a tribute. In the mtgox address there is a lot of trolling and calling out Karpeles, and for example in satoshi's original address a lot of people send messages like "thank you satoshi" or whatever.

[rapazev]

Well, the notes make some sense(people asking for money, even tho i think it's a stupid idea).
there are others addy's like that, people buy and forget about it for years... maybe someday somebody will spend it.

I understand the notes, but why would people waste money by sending it around in dust?

because 0.0001 btc is not a money.

They do silly attempt to ask for donation or trying to make their projects be seen by bitcoin holders, this always happens to well known bitcoin addresses or bitcoin addresses in richlist like this one.

But i really doubt they will have any success by doing this, they will only loss their dust amount.
