Question: Do you think the US government is about to sell the 49 000 BTC related to the Silk Road market?

the two public addresses where the bitcoins were stored:
Adresse 1: bc1q5shngj24323nsrmxv99st02na6srekfctt30ch
Adress 2: bc1q2raxkmk55p000ggfa8euzs9fzq7p4cx4twycx7

About 40,000 bitcoins have been transfered to another wallet
But what is interesting is about 9,900 bitcoins seized have been sent to Coinbase
Transaction d43068e021701606724af16aeb8197a3530021d45a16d5b830b465da6c5ce9e6

It's not their usual modus operandi. It seems to me that they usually sell them at auctions, as it already happened previously.
In any case, there must be a reason to have sent ~200 million dollars on Coinbase and it seems to me that it was not to play with dolls.

Testing something, or just looking for another method to sell the bitcoins other than an auctions, while selling not everthing at once of course but by fractions (again, as they ususually do)

Not the right timing to sellI would say...
