While I was browsing through the block chain I noticed that something around 29,000 bitcoin were in a wallet that the coins were labelled on block chain.info as (silk road seized coins)  originally and transactions are being made today.

Yesterday and probably for quite a while.

Maybe this is normal I just find it unusual for the FBI or whoever confiscated them are spending/moving them to tons of different addresses.

I guess they can do what they like with them maybe it's used to try to catch out people making other  dodgy deals on the dweb





This is quite interesting... Do you still have the address you stumbled across?
Maybe the FBI decided to sell those coins or just redistribute them into the network somehow.
