So overall, pretty bearish news.. considering the lack of interested parties and lack of variety in them (most of them already BTC related)

I only went off the ones in this article apparently there are 37 more interested parties Think it was 51 total so if you think about the deposit needed being 200,000 for this auction There is a current escrow of 10 million two hundred thousand dollars right now and that is before the bidding even begins

This is when the FBI runs off with $10.2M

There are some new multibillion dollar players in there, too. Good news IMHO.

This is when the FBI runs off with $10.2M Considering they are selling blocks of 300 BTC at this price they would be better off selling the coins than running away with the chump change. Now if they said the escrow was a non-refundable deposit to enter this auction that would have been a good steal ^_^.

Wait, so all of these bidders (51?) have made the 200k deposit? Then I suppose its not so bad. I was thinking only a half or so actually bid and the rest were "interested"

Nope. It's purely a CC to people who emailed enquiries about the auction, nothing more. A fella on Reddit who asked them a question received the same email.

In reply to YogoH, I'm not an expert in the law. I suppose it's down to local jurisdiction of who seizes the assets. I was just wondering if this sale was ethical. If the marshals had said they were gonna donate the proceeds to addiction/homeless charity I could see that as a more positive end than profiteering from crimes that were committed on a global scale.
where do you get the idea that the government needs to abide by ethics...

The name that caught my eye was Fred Ehrsam's.
As the ultimate insider who can see the market with as perfect vision as any, I consider his desire to buy large quantities of coins as extremely bullish.

If you ask me this "leak" just seems too easy to be a simple accident. By dropping all those names the USMS want to maximize the price they get for those bitcoins and the make others know there will be serious money coming to the table

Apparently it's 37 people and they are not all bidders. Anyone that has asked a question appears on the list.
So this means all of them could simply be asking if they could send a really low ball offer, just in case. "Hey I'll buy all of the coins for 10% of their value." "Is there a volume discount?" Why not?

Why not? or some of them could genuinely wish to acquire 30,000 coins and appreciate that buying them in the open market, on an exchange they are able to use (basically just Stamp) in a short timeframe, will cost them a lot more than paying say $650 a coin.

These people are fucking stupid: This is a sealed bid auction. You will not have the opportunity to view other bids. You will not have the opportunity to change your bid once submitted.
