Do they even have the private keys for the addresses? I thought that the .gov had not recovered those. If they don't have them, they won't be selling...
Yes, they've already moved them to another address. |

Quite funny... to watch all those people begging. Put your BTC to a good cause. Help the homeless in this cold winter instead of sending it off to the government and seized wallets. 1ApgG6MHvZkcM2tEZDLPvzmhbmX4BGuib1 Send some BTC pl0x... I'm 19 and broke  Dear gentle people; please help support a series of crypto-currency workshops in Cape Town, South Africa.

The two addresses in question are the two addresses that are owned by and set up by the FBI. As they found BTC they transferred them to these two addresses that they control. I do not know exactly how they found/got the BTC to transfer them, but the fact remains that they control the two addresses: https://blockchain.info/address/1F1tAaz5x1HUXrCNLbtMDqcw6o5GNn4xqXabout $15,167,478.74 (when I posted this) from the Silk Road web site/server.https://blockchain.info/address/1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPHabout $73,816,259.11 (when I posted this) from DPR himself.They have permission from the courts to auction off the smaller amount - the amount they took from the silk road server. The larger amount is tied up because DPR has claimed ownership of them. They have auctions all the time. They know how to auction off seized property. They have web sites for exactly that purpose. That is what they know how to do so that is what they will do. We just need to monitor the various goobermint web sites used to auction off seized property and bid on the BTC when they come up for auction. Unless they some how manage to lose the private keys, which is totally possible for them to do, then they are SOL. |

Yes. Jurisdiction is a complex issue in cases like this, but the US government has jurisdiction over things occurring within their borders.

one company (I think Australian?) offered to buy them at a 15% discount already, which is sick because its easy to sell them at 10% premiums. if I had the capital I'd put in a bid.
And any company/person buying them will not be punting them to kill the market, that would make no sense.

Nothing will happen, if they decide to do they wont sell it for cheap, and they won't sell it on one day. Or they will use it to trade on some other "shady' sites and trap users......

Hmm... they can sell it in just one day, using a private auction. There is a lot of demand for cheap Bitcoins. But still I would be expecting a steep discount, ranging from 10% to 20%. |

I don't remember how much did MtGOx took for transaction but the question is why would you risk all if you are going to sell it for 10-20% of the current price? Then can sit on them for months and sell 1-2% each day. 2000Btc isn't that much. |

Why do you expect them to sell at a discount? In a well advertised auction they could go for a premium even. It just depends on how many people are bidding and how emotional they get - just like any other public auction. |

I don't see this happening unless they could make a good profit or it was an attempt to damage BTC's credibility.

I imagine the auction winners will be known publicly. This might be the largest amount of coins with a known owner, besides Satoshi.

The purchase will almost certainly be made by an investor/company who has plans for the coins. Which means ultimately they will be brought into circulation again. A very good thing. I doubt anybody is going to buy that many coins to sit on them for years. |
