$1.5 Million in BTC?

[bticoinquake]

I'm still pretty new to bitcoin and was lurking around on Blockchain.info I mosied on over to the recent largest transactions page and found one transaction to 1 address for 14329.90 BTC equal to $ 1,566,258.07 at present rates. My thoughts are someone is putting some very large amounts of fiat currency into BTC. What could this be a large buy, or transfer of btc from an early adopter to a more secure wallet?

Wow, that is a substantial amount.

But, it could just be a exchange transferring from on wallet to another, their cold wallet to their hot or something like that.
I'm not sure, I might go and look for this.

I would be scared to send that much in a single transaction.  But I guess you couldn't break it up into very small pieces. I have never had one get lost but still worry.

I would be scared to send that much in a single transaction.

Why? No chance of losing BitCoins by sending.

maybe its the government buying all the btc so there wont be any left for anyone else

Oh, why he is so rich? But to make such a transaction, I believe 2 parties must have known each others very well and high trustness. I am newbie to btc too, and dreaming some days that I have some hundreds of btc.

Winklevoss sounds like a fifteenth-century Dutch merchant.  Are they anything like their portrayal in "The Social Network"?
