I really wonder if Satoshi’s fortune is gone forever. Maybe the CIA found his real identity and uncovered his keys. Dumping that much BTC on the market would crash the market and probably even tank other financial markets.
…not in my understanding. The term would seem to originate from one or both of "a pot of honey" and "a cesspit or chamber pot"[1]. Both attract flies. the former attracts bears, while the latter attracts 'filth'; both attributes can be useful. The attractant need not be a decoy to function.
[1] Sidebar: a 'honeydipper' can be either a tool made of spaced circular disks on the end rod for the purpose of obtaining honey from a container, or a scooping tool used remove excrement from a septic system or storage container.
Why would they throw a dozen South American coups, import tonnes of crack to the inner cities, conduct illegal human experimentation or attempt the assassination of multiple democratically elected world leaders?
Honestly no idea, they seem a little fash-y for any logical reasoning that i can comprehend.
Maybe they had another insurgency to fund and didn't want it going through the vast ^official^ books?
did the rumor that Satoshi was Paul Leroux go anywhere? since he is now in the hands of the intelligence services for a while this could be a good explanation for Satoshi not being able to access its coins.
