This analysis linking the richest address to Silkroad’s DPR is interesting: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=310600.0

I sure hope those guys are keeping their keys safe.

Also - there's 4 addresses with almost exactly the same number of coins (40000) who all last transacted on april 9. Surely connected.

Also also: why do so many btc balances end with ".0411"?

So some of these guys who jumped from 20,000 to 80,000 bitcoins virtually overnight -- is it safe to assume that they are hackers in Russia? It would be interesting to see an overlay of known bitcoin exchange hacks.

Question: How hard/impossible would it be for me as a US citizen to cash in on a large lot like that? Say I want 10 million dollars for some partying I want to do for New Years.

It seems some people have mega riches, but is it actually feasible for me to realize that money (in US Dollars, deposited to my Chase bank account)?

There are 10 in total in the top 100 with their last transaction on April 9th. I agree that can't be chance.

And 6 blocks of 10.000 bitcoin with a last transaction on the 4th. So it looks like that there are far less than 100 players in the bitcoin top 100.

No. The market just isn't that deep. I really doubt there are people looking to spend 10 million (or even 1 million) dollars on bitcoin in any normal time frame.

Most of the bitcoin super-rich are the early adopters, who mined hundreds of bitcoins on their personal PCs while that was still possible.
