I suppose brainy folks are making sure they keep them secure. It would really be a pity if someone somehow would steal them. I don't doubt these people know well how they're protecting them from greedy hands. By the way, I'm not sure it's the appropriate place to share this article (https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/i-received-a-finra-8210-letter-now-what-5734433/) with you; however, if you receive FINRA 8210 letters, you'd have some knowledge about how to deal with them and what to answer back. All the best!

Lots of dust attacks from that wallet and associate ones.

Ok, do you think the FBI will just using 1 wallet to store all their Bitcoin?? No that's is fool act, storing huge money in only 1 storage. So FBI will use so many wallets to store their Bitcoin. Stop think something like this, Useless
It looks like they are storing all of these coins in a single wallet. At least the OP thinks so and he has posted the wallet address (35hK24tcLEWcgNA4JxpvbkNkoAcDGqQPsP). Now I am not sure whether this wallet belongs to the FBI or not, but at this point it contains some BTC138453.30. Anyway, the entire conversation is unproductive. For me, it is practically impossible to even think about a possibility of hacking in to this wallet.
On the owner of such wallet then he wont really be that dumb enough to forget those keys to access those funds.Hacking it forcefully is something on the impossible side.
When in the talks of selling out those number of coins?Do looks simple but selling it on one go would be a sure headache into that hacker.
Also, it would really be on tight surveillance and seriously tracked on any outgoing or incoming transactions on said wallet.

If that’ll happen then we will probably know because there’d be a transaction worth $7Billion. Lol And for sure it’ll be a big turn of events around the FBI if someone will try to hack them too. But the big problem for them is that it is untraceable, they wouldn’t know where it’ll be going and to whom.

That's is a huge amount of Bitcoin, and if the hacker sells it immediately we will see a massive drop of Bitcoin price. But they hack BItcoin it means they know that Bitcoin is a great investment, they will not sell it immediately but also will hold it for the long term.

There are thousands of bitcoins in the hands of the FBI, how they securely store bitcoin?
At the current price it's worth more than 7 billion dollars!!
If the FBI wallet with 141,000 bitcoins was stolen what do you think would happen with the bitcoin price?

If there is a hack it's going to be an inside job, FBI is the most secured website and they have the most secured files, if there is an intrusion the FBI can trace that whoever it is or are and where it is coming from, you have seen on movies how powerful FBI is, the crash is unlikely because where the funds are going it can be traced and they will be caught who will do it, even if it's an individual or group or country.

Ok guys, that was just my curiosity. I'm obviously not planning to steal this FBI wallet.
Thanks for your contributions!
Thanks for your contributions!
Even if you have a plan to hacked it or anyone wants to hacked it, you are endangering your lives and your love ones, they have all the tools and the people to chase you even if you go to Mars, they will go after you, they will even put a bounty in your head, it's not worth the risk, their Bitcoin in exchange for your freedom and your life.
This is traceable so it will be public knowledge but they could still try to deny it. There are nations in the world where there is no extradition as well, like Brazil for example as closest, so you could steal and be there and they wouldn't be capable of getting you charged with anything. Long story short it would be very very difficult, like insanely difficult, but it wouldn't be impossible, it would be movie levels of difficulty with a tiny fraction chance of actually doing it.

Some hacker may try to steal the coins, not for profit but as a protest. And as long as he doesn't convert this stash to fiat cash, the chances of FBI finding out his real identity is really low (still not zero, since we all know the capabilities of the FBI). All you need is the private key to the Bitcoin wallet (good luck with that). They may be storing their coins in some secure cold wallet and if you want to break in to their wallet, it will take some serious effort. That is the toughest part. Once you can access the coins, you can move the coins to another wallet and keep it there for the next 50 years.

Those coins would be blacklisted and all USA exchanges or exchanges in countries where USA have political influence would block those wallets and coins on them. The moment someone would deposit those coins on exchange their account would be blocked and authorities informed.
Bitcoin is not fungible. Every coin have history and different value.

Even if you do have the plans, your entire lifetime wont be enough to bruteforcing those keys. Thanks for your contributions!
I would rather stop dreaming to be rich on just stealing those coins and make my life extravagant. When it comes to sell out those bulk numbers by FBI
itself then expect for some market correction on high percentage which is just a casual stuff when there's a huge sell is happening
even though after that here's come the recovery.

FBI has a huge network, they employ the best tracker and coder, they are good at tracking anyone, anywhere I doubt the hacker can escape FBI, erven if the hacker is living in a very remote area, the FBI can use satellite to tracks hackers and besides, how a hacker can cashout the hacked and amount when FBI has a huge network they can block access to where they are going to transfer it.

I would pray this will happen , so for sure the "WAR" against hackers will start in massive action .At the current price it's worth more than 7 billion dollars!!

In this way I am sure that the best equipment will be use to find them all and stop their activities .

The thief should think twice if he would going to push it through or not because FBI will definitely hunt him and the mere fact also that tracing transactions via online will be easily traced. Hence, what i am really imposing was the impossibility that FBI wallet could be hacked because i do believ le that they have their own kind of IT supports, a well enhanced skills worker working on to make a well secured cyber security to prevent their wallet from hacking and i am also doubting if do FBI really had a 141 000 BTC owned??
Hacked is not impossible, but staying hacked could be very very difficult. After all, it is just FBI and people hacked them before, I remember multiple times their website was hacked just as a proof of force, and they are constantly getting attacked on their sensitive information as well, we all know what happens with those, wallet doesn't seem any different, it is not piece of cake obviously, you need a lot of talent and resources to actually pull something like that off but it is not impossible, you could hack them, we are talking about a huge team with a lot money and machinery to pull it off but when we are talking about 141k bitcoins that seems like a small thing to pay.However after it is hacked, the real challenge begins, if you are in brazil or china where USA can't do anything to you, it may work but even in those places they end up paying the right people to end your run, so after the hacking, things can get messy.

*sorry if I missed something but is it really the Bitcoin FBI wallet...
I see the number is very large, the final balance value is $7,646,519,732.43. if true then they are likely selling the 'caught' bitcoins and depositing the money into the country.

I remember years ago they auctioned off confiscated coins. You could buy them at a mild discount if you took the lot...
That was with the silk road bust...

Is there any guarantee that you wont be in prison once you do have these funds?
I’d keep the receipt in my safe

they moved a ton of coins in Oct and Nov 2020 to this address
https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1NjhTx5Uu9aH6A1kjdnvRN96sUtUqAwAxE
that address did big moves to some addresses in this tx

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/16Cn9u31P3NEi76MS7BExn24XEdabcotmT
about 88 btc combined.
Frankly it is interesting to see 141 billion sitting peacefully in 1 address.
I think it is set as a target on purpose since cracking the wallet and ripping it off would be a big blow to BTC.
