There has been a buyout from a single entity of 5,000 btc (almost $500,000) - could this be the first batch of buyings from the $11M of the SatoshiDice PayOut?
buyings from payout? wtf?
SatoshiDice was sold for $11M In bitcoins and the announcement said they payout will start today in batches
The payout was in BTC, not USD.
To be paid in BTC, but maybe the buyer/s are using Dollars to buy BTC to pay? or you are 100% sure the buyer/s already had 135,000 Bitcoins in their pockets before signing the payout....? since we dont know who the buyer/s is/are - you can't know that.. furtheremore that anouncement of "batches" sounds to me like money will be coming from fiat to BTC
do you even know what payout means?
LOL
Paying someone OUT from a company, else known as Exit or BuyOut.
"an investment transaction by which the ownership equity of a company, or a majority share of the stock of the company is acquired. The acquiror thereby "buys out" the present equity holders of the target company. A buyout will often include the purchasing of the target company's outstanding debt, which is referred to as "assumed debt" by the purchaser."
Sheeesh - DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?!?

Haven't seen any trades on Gox in about 10 minutes. Is trading down?
It seems like trading is frozen at the moment from my end as well,
MAYBE they are making some sort of an update

?
gox.com directs to mtgox.com
Holy shit.. memo could be true. Cheesy
I want to check myself but im afraid clicking / going to such a site,
Who has a confirmation of this?
You can probably bind the data in the MtGox database with blockchain data. Then, you can find all MtGox used Bitcoin addresses. Then, you can find where the rabbit hole goes ...
brilliant
