Re:Someone bought 26.9 BTC on Binance and sent it to Satoshi... by hnlmorg on Sunday January 07, 2024 @06:36AM (#38900388)
The OPs point was this the "pump" part (ie get people talking about Bitcoin again). If their theory is true (and I'm not saying I believe it is), then the dump part wouldn't be transferring to another wallet, it would be selling their remaining Bitcoin.

If this is a pump and dump scheme (and that's a big "if") then they would need an order of magnitude more than 27BTC (ie the amount they sent to this wallet) for this to work.

Potentially even better than selling their remaining bitcoins is buying options right before doing this pump.
