I highly doubt they are vanity addresses that someone actually holds the private key. More likely is that they are made up addresses, the person that crafted them made sure that the last few characters (checksum) makes the address appear valid to the network. see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136362.0Edit: (added reference) |

Essentially yes, for all intents and purposes, it's improbable that anyone is in possession of the private keys to redeem the small amount of coin sent to those addresses. It's also highly improbable that anyone will ever generate (accidentally, or otherwise) those private keys at any stage in the future. Also on more technical note, transactions like this gradually add to the amount of overall memory required to run a full Bitcoin node. Further reading, search "UTXO". |

Look at all the transactions https://blockchain.info/tree/113953084If you expand everything, you see that the end result is three transactions of 80 BTC sent to 1EcvHzJaXp9xnBcxqWe6rR8sUyzujzfafn, with a tiny bit(transaction fee for something like a mixing service?) going to 1Nqoy2FfpR1DtrBodFe1bzRrzuoA9XYkab. I wonder why he went all the way just to show his hate to Mt. Gox |
