Topic: [2013-01-16] - US forces Silk Road to give up $28M in bitcoins (Read 1010 times)
While everyone is guessing, including me - I don't think they're creative enough to do anything outside their usual procedures. They'll probably cut it up into smaller lots and auction it at a set price determined by some random googling. The Wall Street boys will probably be lined up for this, as some funds need the BTC to satisfy their backing requirements.
where are they going to sell on MtGox? Good luck wiring that money back to the States lmao
no seriously i wonder if they will cut them up or sell them all in 1 lot?

This will take time to auction the coins
