These 48,000 BTC will be divided by 104 bidding partners. So that might not be all  big guys.

2% annual "administrative and safekeeping fee" and a $25,000 minimum if you want to invest:

Nice to know that the 2 minutes I spent learning how to use brainwallet may eventually save me $500 or more per year

I think this fact would make it even more significant. It shows that many people with a lot of money behind them are willing to believe in and invest in bitcoin

Draper may have bid lower than market this time, I think that guy is not that great at bidding as he is for recognizing great ideas. Tongue If the syndicate won so much coins the logical conclusion is that bids were very low this this round, I don't think there are much people in those groups that need Bitcoin from us marshall.

It appears there was overall less interest in this auction as it both received less bidders and less bids. I would not be surprised if the discount was larger this time around then it was when the USMS auctioned the silk road coins last time

Price went down, many people probably lost money from the previous purchase.

Great for them! The ones who made the most are the US Government, they spent nothing (except salaries of a day for FBI team) to get all those bitcoins!

Is it a Single Trust with multiple bidders who won the different blocks for them? I've read the article, but still can't get it who actually got those coins...
