I owned that wallet lol ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Yep, maybe it's a pool. There is no balance in the wallet, and it's already sent to the other wallet. And the last transaction was on 2014-07-19 which mean, the wallet now is not being used anymore for the transaction.

If the FBI closed it down what happened to those coins that is in the wallet? Those are big amounts, did the FBI confiscated the wallet?

As I remember people were able to withdraw their coins and only a CEO was accused in financial crimes. btc-e once was one of the major echanges and after those mentioned issues they were opened again as WEX exchange but they didn't get the same amount of users and now they are probably closed.

I hope that FBI didn't confiscated that, it's a big amount. I think that's a pool wallet. That amount is so big, well me, when I have btc in exchange and wanted to send it to my wallet. I'm very careful sending that even though it's just .004 btc or something. But, if they send that to a different address, it's a big loss.

Transaction made in 2014, so it's not worth 2B at that time. I think it's usual when a person have that much btc in 2014, CMIIW

Yup, that's pretty normal, especially big exchanges and mining pools moving their balances around addresses that they hold for storage and other purposes, and during those days, that exact amount in BTC isn't even valued $2-B, but nevertheless it's already a huge sum. If the FBI closed it down what happened to those coins that is in the wallet? Those are big amounts, did the FBI confiscated the wallet?
I'm sure users have withdrawn their balances from BTC-e before they were ordered to close down. The only confiscated wallets I know of were that of the Silk Road that was also auctioned off after the trials.

I wonder what happened and if the users are still chasing for their crypto. It is a huge amount after all and I think that it belongs to the user's why didn't they send it back ? It is their money after all they earned it I think they should have it back.

That wallet definitely belong to an exchange may be binance or bitman because that huge amount can not be transferred using just one single address, but the date is way back and no one will option in transferring such huge amount in just one single transactions and sending to a single account.

Am I stupid or does the 'don't put too much in one address' make little sense?
Most people keep their backups in the same place with the same method. If it gets compromised everything's going to be toast. If it's over a million paper wallets around the world then there's a chance a fair few will get lost.
I'd rather stick with one address or seed that I know is thoroughly thought through.

2 billion! ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) :oThe amount is very fantastic, I have never even imagined such a value in a transaction. I think it's one of the biggest investors we've seen so far. This will be carried away on my dream tonight.

I don't think that the owner of this amount is just a one person, because we are talking here about 2 billions of dollars, which it's an extraordinary amount, also the transactions were made in 2014, so it's so old and I think it's a pool or bitmain.

Well it possible that that wallet is own by either an exchange or even a hacker because in that year there was a lots of scam who make away with hug amount of bitcoin, because no person will want to risk such a huge amount in just a single transactions and to just one destination.

it is a very large amount, and with such a value it will be able to influence prices in the market, but the owner has not yet known it, and it could be Satoshi Nakamoto.

sometimes when you have too much bitcoins, it doesn't make much sense to put it in fifty different addresses. specially when you are already handling thousands of addresses. of course i am talking about this case which is obviously an exchange service. they have multiple cold storages which they keep coins in. and of course that is why when they get hacked a lot of money goes up in smokes at once.

Yeah i was thinking that it was pretty old. But seems like they had really fishy business models to behave that. Moving two billion in a single transaction, now that's something. I wonder if anyone would move an even larger amount in a single transaction today or especially when Bitcoin's price reach the roof again. Now that is a pretty interesting doubt i have.
