Still amazes me that DPR didn't secure the wallet better. He could have a fortune waiting for him when/if he gets out of prison. Now he has nothing, unless the FBI didn't find all of it.

I think it is a well known fact that FBI seized less than half. So they got the operational stash, active SR funds, not the cold wallets.

this is pointless and doesn't make sense

Lol, most of this forum is pointless and doesnt make sense.

The FBI will hold those coins until the case is closed, which will take years because i bet alot of legal precedent will be set with a case like this and always takes longer.

Once they no longer need to keep them by law, they will hire someone to figure out what to do with them, and then spend ages in red tape until they are finally sold in a few years time.

Seriously everyone?

Don't ever kid yourself...the FBI has a wallet all their own...probably multiple wallets.

Using Bitcoin is just one more tool they can use to carry out top secret missions.

People might laugh at this but criminals are not the only ones that require money laundering services.

fbi are the biggest crooks of all

Technology and Women. Amazing.

And rumor has it he's going to cooperate with the FBI for a reduced sentence? So how's he going to protect himself once all is said and done?

Rumour has it that the US Army is stocking weapons on the dark web paying in btc.

This is probably alot closer to the truth than people think.

These will be unsalable, unusable, completely tainted marked coins.

They will not be allowed to enter the Bitcoin community.

They will be completely rejected by the networks.

The FBI can't even MASK the coins acting like 100s of people etc.

It is all traced back to them.

Gotcha scammers.

What if I tell you this forum is FBI-only, and you're our next target? Check your wifi for FBISurveillanceVan.

rofl...wtf is up with this. it is on my wifi at the office...but it is spelled survenlance or something..:p

I'm kind of surprised peopel are worried about this to be honest. if they sell them, thats great, just means more coin for the rest of us at cheaper prices and now that we know they can't bombard the market with sells, the value of a btc will go even higher, yeah?

They'll probably be auctioned off to the highest bidder, bit like when governments dispose of equipment through auctioneers. Might even end up causing a price spike and become collectors Bitcoins ("Genuine DPR Bitcoins, limited collection!" Tongue

)

The day we can sell collectable bitcoins because of their history is the day BTC officially jumps the shark, IMO.

In my opinion, as soon as the FBI decides to sell the coins they would become legitimised and therefore untainted.

is there any way to "track coins"? I didn't think so. I guess you could track addresses, can you get information on where btc addresses are located? I thought BTC was supposed to be anonymous!!!

Bitcoin transactions are completely traceable and only anonymous until your real world identity is linked.

I heard the FBI is starting its own silk road and using the BTC to fund the start and thats why they are closing down all the other dodgy sites!!

You mean to say they didn't start the first one? Huh

I thought the CIA started the first one??
