This Bitcoin address associated with the MtGox hack has a balance of 75,957.20 BTC and not a single satoshi has ever been moved out of it

You can see the history of the address here:https://ift.tt/2vP0J0w March 1, 2011 it received 79,956 BTC in a single transaction in what has been reported by Mark Karpeles to be associated with the MtGox hack. Karpeles is /u/MagicalTux on Reddit. He seems to indicate that he believes Jed McCaleb (who is mtgox apparently in the chat logs in the linked reddit thread) may have had some part in the hack.It's kind of a weird cultural aspect of Bitcoin that people continue to send coins to specific addresses as a sign of appreciation or respect or worship or whatever. For instance, this address has received an additional 1.2 BTC over the years, from 317 other transactions, mostly just dust amounts. Another is the BitcoinEater unspendable address that has received over 13 BTC in 306 transactions over the years. Another one that I guess makes a bit more sense is the address associated with the coinbase from the first block reward, which has received an extra 18.2 BTC in over 1900 transactions over the years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
