The slightly hack-ish solution is to explicitly use the python long()
function as a converter:
In [215]: np.loadtxt(StringIO(fc), dtype=np.int64, converters={0:long})
Out[215]:
array([1621174818000457763, 1621209600996363377, 1621258907994644735,
1621296000994995765, 1621374194996298305], dtype=int64)
