The FBI does not know what to do with the withdrawn Bitcoins of the Silk Road resource, the FBI does not yet have access to Ross Ulbricht’s wallet.

As already written on Habré, in the process of liquidation of Silk Road, the FBI seized quite a lot of bitcoins. Or rather, not so - the FBI seized a lot of bitcoins, about 26,000. This cryptocurrency belonged not so much to the founder of Silk Road, as to service users who kept their savings within the service. As soon as the FBI got access to the Silk Road wallet, the bitcoins stored there were transferred to the corresponding FBI wallet. And now this organization does not know what to do with this wealth.

An FBI representative answered a question from a Forbes journalist that most likely the cryptocurrency would be kept intact until the end of the process involving Ulbricht. What will do with the cryptocurrency after the completion of the process, representatives of the FBI find it difficult to say. “This is something new for us. Probably, we will simply eliminate them (bitcoins), ”the FBI representative said.

It should be noted that those same 26 thousand bitcoins are not the property of Ulbricht, this is the property of the users of the service. But the FBI’s personal wallet hasn’t received access yet, since this account has been maintained separately and has been denied access to it. According to the FBI, another $ 80 million has been accumulated on the Silk Road owner’s personal wallet (at the current rate of Bitcoin). If this information is true, then about 600 thousand bitcoins are on Ulbricht’s wallet, and this is about 5% of the currently available cryptocurrency.

By the way, the FBI wallet, to which the withdrawn bitcoins were transferred, is tracked by curious users of the Network. Anyone can follow this wallet and its balance here on this link . Now, some users throw money into the wallet (worth 0.00001 Bitcoin), sticking a message like “Ross Ulbricht is a good person, and you (meaning the current FBI wallet holder) are a bad person.” To conduct such a transaction with the subsequent message will not be work.
