In my opinion 30000 BTC are not something so huge for the government .. so they were very still doing this Smiley
BTW what is the reason why the FBI sold that coins anyway?

It is kind of a standard procedure for the government to auction off any seized property (usually vehicles and houses though) Cheesy

Yup, the CEO of Vaurum has made the statement (Link: https://medium.com/@vaurum/tim-draper-wins-govt-auction-partners-with-vaurum-to-provide-bitcoin-liquidity-in-emerging-markets-88f04a1d8598). Smiley

Anyone catch that press conference? Draper talked and looked like a complete buffoon. Someone should have told him to comb his hair, wear a presentable tie, and learn to speak in public..... that was PAINFUL.....

Those Bitcoins were not given for free. They were purchased and paid for by the legal entity who won the auction. There was no extraneous luck involved there. If you had enough liquid assets to trade for those Bitcoins, then you could have made a bid for them too. Acquiring those Bitcoins were no different from acquiring stocks of a profitable corporation via auction.

Well, that is true.
But when the bidders submitted their price in the sealed auction, they must be thinking their prices are good enough to them (otherwise they would submit a lower price). So, the winner should be happy winning the auction. Smiley
I wouldn't call the winner "lucky" but IMO it is reasonable to congratulate the winner.

Yes, they must have high expectation of BTC to buy such a large amount of BTC.
