there is this service called walletExplorer which has been doing some blockchain analysis for a long time. if you search addresses in it, they can tell you which service these popular addresses belong to.

it says this address belongs to BTC-e.com which was a big bitcoin exchange back in the days before FBI closed it down.
here is the link: https://www.walletexplorer.com/wallet/BTC-e.com-old?from_address=16R14EH4v8A9GPXkAAP8gcMFBA8oxA8nbY

If the FBI closed it down what happened to those coins that is in the wallet? Those are big amounts, did the FBI confiscated the wallet?

There's no balance left in that address. I hope that FBI didn't confiscated that, it's a big amount. I think that's a pool wallet. That amount is so big, well me, when I have btc in exchange and wanted to send it to my wallet. I'm very careful sending that even though it's just .004 btc or something. But, if they send that to a different address, it's a big loss.

that particular address was emptied back in 2014 the FBI thing and btc-e's closure was a much more recent event. i can't recall the exact year but it was either 2017 or 2016 which is at least 2 years after that wallet went empty.
also btc-e has been working under a different name (wex or something like that) ever since and people could access their accounts a while after btc-e was closed in the new site.

I wonder what happened and if the users are still chasing for their crypto.
It is a huge amount after all and I think that it belongs to the user's why didn't they send it back ?
It is their money after all they earned it I think they should have it back.

Transaction made in 2014, so it's not worth 2B at that time.
I think it's usual when a person have that much btc in 2014, CMIIW

Yup, that's pretty normal, especially big exchanges and mining pools moving their balances around addresses that they hold for storage and other purposes, and during those days, that exact amount in BTC isn't even valued $2-B, but nevertheless it's already a huge sum.

I'm sure users have withdrawn their balances from BTC-e before they were ordered to close down. The only confiscated wallets I know of were that of the Silk Road that was also auctioned off after the trials.

That was almost two billion dollars. Why would anyone use the same address to transfer that crazy amount? And who would own such a wallet? An exchange?

As I remember people were able to withdraw their coins and only a CEO was accused in financial crimes.
btc-e once was one of the major echanges and after those mentioned issues they were opened again as WEX exchange but they didn't get the same amount of users and now they are probably closed.

I didn't hear antyhing about Bitcoin wallet hack until now. So there is nothing important here. On the contrary as you can see this transaction he or she gather all BTC's from another adress together;

I owned that wallet lol Grin

Yep, maybe it's a pool. There is no balance in the wallet, and it's already sent to the other wallet. And the last transaction was on 2014-07-19 which mean, the wallet now is not being used anymore for the transaction.
