I'm sure that they did. What's changed? Err.........
Not a lot.

My gut feeling is there must be a back story of some sort not being mentioned.

For the reason explained in my post you quoted.
If I had something worth £32m lying around, I'm totally 100% sure I would not 'accidentally' put it in the bin.

yes. Edit, somebody, presumably the 'inventor' of bitcoin, mined about a million of them (from memory) in the very early days (when a zx spectrum could mine). They have never been touched. All is logged on the blockchain. they've presumably either lost the keys or think the price is still too low...
