They hold them for a couple years while the case processes, meanwhile BTC price goes to $100,000, bringing the little stash to $2 billion, and the motherload (cold wallet) to $50 billion. Someone on the inside "loses" the keys or gets compromised or taken out as the feds have their bitcoin security failure moment. Coins are gone with the wind.
I think the USG will sell the BTC. But what do you think?
