Satoshi Dice Buy out: 126,315 BTC! Payout to be released to share holders!

[vokain]

Thinking about it, I don't see SD investors being the same type of people that push walls around. Rather, more long term oriented people for the most part

[freedomno1]

who is the buyer!!!!  

Turns out it was MtGox!

Heres the Press Release:

If anything this will just attract more development into things only bitcoin can allow, like provably fair on-the-blockchain gambling.

I'm not very familiar with SD earnings, but does it make financial sense that it has been bought for this much?

Surely that much money you could build a superior product and out market SD, and still have a lot of change left over.

i'm convinced the only reason why SD was so successful in the first place was because it was the first BTC non-mining business anyone could buy in for a part of the profits

That's exactly what I was thinking... holy crap that's a lot of BTC...

No takebacks

[Voodah]

Truly an amazing amount of money...

This. They could have put an Ad on the Superbowl, Stanley Cup, World Series, and NBA Finals

Not to much loot, in the long run. Current SD's profits are at 74k btc and there is still a month to go for a full year. Imagine SD all dressed up and marketed right. Maybe the new owner did a decent return on buying cheap shares through straw men, before the deal was pulled off? At least somebody did, that popping volume weeks and days before the announcement is too obvious. Nothing to proof, sure. This is a wild free playground that benefits the bright fellows.

[BitSmile]

I bought 9 shares(900 mpex ones) in havelock the day prior to the announcement, not a great amount of money but a good deal, considering I received more than 1.5 times what I paid for them.

[wachtwoord]

I's interested in who bought this. May be MSFT can change sentiment (they are down >8% in pre-market trading).

[Itcher]

We're in the speculation thread and noone claimed Satoshi to be the buyer? For him the price must be a peanut, and as long he's not able to cash out his heavy btc-amount without disturbing the system, the bought of SD must be the funniest thing to do with it.

I can't wait to hear who's the buyer! But maybe we will never know ...

All my hopes are going to Sid Mayer or Boris Becker.

Somebody said it already, saying that he hated that the site carried his name and spammed the blockchain

[vokain]

Assuming he didn't sell it to himself.

It would be a smart move to sell such business to own anonymous identity in order to waive any legal or moral obligations in the future.

[Spekulatius]

Is there any proof the shares have been payed out yet? By that I dont mean the statement on MPEX, but actual Bitcoins in the wallets of share owners.

[MidnightTokr]

Is anyone here a shareholder?
