In 2012, The Economist reasoned that Bitcoin has been popular because of "its role in dodgy online markets",[12] and in 2013 the FBI shut down one such service, Silk Road, which specialized in illegal drugs (whereupon the FBI took control of approximately 1.5% of all bitcoins in circulation).
So the US Guberment has 1.5% of all BTC. Who wants to guess at their value today?
At the time it was worth $28 million. And reportedly a total of $33 million in BTC just in October. Now since then their value has risen 10 times that and so they hold $300 million or more worth of BTC.
I'm willing to bet they are holding them too and one has to wonder if they are possibly behind any manipulation. Even worse what if they artificially inflate it and then intentionally crash it so that people lose their trust in crypto currency.
I wonder how we can find out what the US Gov is doing with all those BTC?

I thought about it for awhile, and it may POSSIBLY be the case. What are your thoughts on this?
So some guy on a hack forum makes up a theory and now people believe this might actually be true?
