You guys are right, I was trusting what an article said without double checking the MtGox market depth myself.

Regardless, it would be easy to spread the sale of 174k BTC over 2-3 exchanges and a month to not impact prices.


Yeah they would either spread out the sales over a long time or auction it off to a bank or some high net worth buyer. Being able to buy 1% of an emerging market at market rate without effecting the price on the exchanges is certainly an attractive proposition.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.
