Topic: US Marshalls auction SilkRoad bitcoins - page 6. (Read 5238 times)
They auction it for cheaper price ?
At least they auction them in bulks, one can hope that big whales pig them up and stash them away, it would be nasty if they just dumped all of them on the exchanges.
Hopefully an investment fund will step up and take them (at a premium 
)
) wondering how the gov. get the private keys from the silkroad owner
Arrested him and thretend to maximize punishment if he doesnt give it up. As simple as that.

They are just auctioning off the small part of the bitcoins too. The US will still have a huge stash.
Does anyone think it is funny that in the movie the DPR would just be a pirate long enough to get rich and then he would retire and live a comfortable life. Where as the Silkroad DPR just kept on going and going until he was the largest holder of bitcoins in the world (except Satoshi). By then, yes, of course he would get caught.
