Silk Road: Trail of 11,329.89BTC

[gwern]

1933x is on the move! Entire balance transferred to https://blockchain.info/address/15ihHoGs3onQBNnEH8afDFGvou9nD62Hm7 , and then split in half to send to https://blockchain.info/address/1K191X5eVSRzeecaPQYGgTAbB7NTbqxDTJ and https://blockchain.info/address/1HR42TZ27gSAQUiLEyT7bVThqi5ZbadVie

What's going on? Ross Ulbricht is still in jail, the apparent plea bargain fell through, and the FBI seized his stuff months ago, they should've finished with it.

EDIT: Reddit discussion: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2004fg/111k_coins_just_moved_any_information_on_this/ ; it looks like the coins have stopped moving for now, and have been split across three addresses now: https://blockchain.info/address/1K191X5eVSRzeecaPQYGgTAbB7NTbqxDTJ / https://blockchain.info/address/1DxQdDV6LPjoimiM9MpBBckQKAeeodmKDE / https://blockchain.info/address/15wJARB79G6WMeLbfy8W2nKX8EdeS32DTA

Good news everybody. DPR is bailing out Mt.Gox!

Guys, this address is allegedly SR?
https://blockchain.info/address/1933phfhK3ZgFQNLGSDXvqCn32k2buXY8a

I can tell you that it is 1-hop from my Mt. Gox deposit address from 2011. Basically I deposited to Gox, and within few hours, deposit has been moved to this address and everything is still there. Could it be Mt Gox cold storage?

Looks increasingly likely that this was MtGox cold storage all along. It's being processed in a similar way as the 200k coins a few days ago.

The linkage with DPR may also be explained by a DPR deposit/withdrawal to MtGox? That could also explain why these funds were "unavailable" if there was some sort of SR-related investigation going on over at MtGox.

I thought that it was not being split the same way as the gox coins.

In specific they aren't waiting for 6 confirmations on each split...?

Indeed, 1 confirmation per split. Also each branch appears to be forming one at a time as if someone is doing it manually (not programmatically), or at least manually supervising the process - I suppose that's warranted with such large transactions!

If you look hard enough you will see a number of connections between Gox / Eligius addresses, and DPR addresses if we look hard enough.  Who's controlling the coins now?  Well, let's see... which of these three entities is still technically in business?

[joesmoe2012]

Once they are all broken into small amounts per address, it going to get hard and hard to follow the flow.

This address has been linked to a customer appearing in the leaked MtGox transaction history, see this:

Sucks for him, he's now got a target on his back thanks to gox.

1933x is on the move!

Highlighted for emphasis.

Well whatever the case, this thread certainly motivated someone to cover their tracks.

[bituperio]

its pretty impressive that you found that. i also didn't know that dpr is thought to be username altoid.  I guess in theory he could have just used a random address in the thread but unlikely.  now if we could only figure out the private key...

the SR arrest warrent of DPR mentions that altoid is DPR.. and thats how he was caught.. altoids email address was Ross Ulbricht@gmail

That was probably a really dumb thing to do from the guy. The analysis itself is really impressive I agree. I would love to do that with the Eth blockchain and see where it leads regarding the DAO theft / fork.

Guys, this wallet's funds are on the move again: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/9bfnff/near_1b_are_currently_on_the_move_from_a_silkroad/

Worth tracking it.
