Topic: FBI uses bitcoin mixers from forfeiture processing. - page 2. (Read 358 times)
I lost bitcoins when btc-e was shut down by the FBI and, as I had done nothing wrong and they wrongly confiscated my stuff, I submitted a claim form on their website. I haven’t heard back yet though. AFAIK the FBI have a few hundred thousand dollars of my coins, we just had a child so my family could really use the money right now. I hope that I’m just part of a really long line of public requests to the FBI and that they will eventually get back to me with my stuff. Has anyone else gotten their coins back from the FBI?
For years governments and associated agencies have relied on the big central banks to launder billions or even trillions of dollars for them, and in return they turn a blind eye to all the other illegal stuff the banks are doing and profiting from. But there is no centralized authority in bitcoin that they can wrap round their finger. They have to play by the rules, same as everybody else. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the FBI and other government agencies are regularly using mixers to obfuscate their bitcoin dealings.
However, as pointed out above, this story is from a scam website and is poorly written. At least they corrected the article when they were called out on it - note the correction at the bottom. The address they claim shows "tell-tale signs of a bitcoin mixer" actually belongs to an exchange.

I was very surprised by the huge amount of bitcoin holding in the wallet, whether it would be a trigger if in the end bitcoins were not evenly distributed, because of the detention from the FBI.
while the supply decreases, making the amount of bitcoins in the wallet non-tradable.

Lol! It's really wired for an organization like FBI to use cryptocurrency mixing services. Either they are trying to understand how the mixers work to prepare a plan of action against them or they are just trying to make their wallet more secure by covering the trail of money! W
But I don't think any serious outcome will happen and also I see no resolution to believe such articles because the authors often use clickbait articles to increase the number of their visitors.

It is strange to see them making use of services that have been due illegal. Probably they are also making sure they destroy evidence get tracked. It is just like you do not believe in a process but you are making use of the process. For you, it is right but for other it is not. This exactly the reason why many do not like a centralized system of governance. You are only right in your own way.
Wouldn't be surprised if FBI or anyone in regulations would try to mix coins, since they were the ones questioning fungibility at some point. Not sure anyone cares now at this point. I'd certainly buy tagged coins if they came at a cheaper price. But would be very surprised if they used any of the "commercial" ones that suffer from a chronological path shortcoming that would be easier to breakdown in tracing.
The article is from a scam website, BCash. This team try to shill their shit cash and 4 years of efforts only give them failures. The Bitcoin community know what is the real Bitcoin.
About governments and their restrictions on mixers, tumblers are not strange. They want to trace transactions with banks and now try to do same things with their CBDCs.
They have Bitcoin and mixers as they have more challenges to trace money flows. Not only about criminals or money laundering.

Thank you for pointing out that it is not the real bitcoin but from the fake one. Still we cannot ignore the fact that FBI are shady agency that confiscate cryptocurrencies and not all of them are being presented as evidences. Heres a merit. About governments and their restrictions on mixers, tumblers are not strange. They want to trace transactions with banks and now try to do same things with their CBDCs.

Over the last eight years, U.S. law enforcement has seized a great number of bitcoins and at one time, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) held one of the largest bitcoin wallets after the Silk Road takedown. A recently published report shows the FBI has started using cryptocurrency mixing applications in recent times in order to obfuscate transactions from seized bitcoins that stem from a forfeiture.

Why would they do that? Arrested person from doing criminal activities do that, so why do they? 🤣
No transparency is a corrupted system.
