FBI seized 144 thousand bitcoins belonging to Ross Ulbricht

Earlier it was reported that the FBI has access to the operating wallet Silk Road, which kept 26 thousand bitcoins. Now the FBI has reached the personal wallet of the former owner of Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht. Here, production is larger - as many as 144 thousand bitcoins, which, at the current rate, is equal to 28.5 million dollars. This money has already been transferred to the FBI wallet (funds were transferred in small transactions of 324 bitcoins, the whole operation was completed on October 25.

Representatives of the FBI did not tell how access to Ulbricht’s personal wallet was obtained, and why this particular wallet was considered to belong to the “Dreadful Pirate Roberts”. However, one of the FBI employees told Forbes that the wallet’s identity to this particular person, Ross Ulbricht, is beyond doubt. "This is his wallet," the FBI official said. It is worth noting that the transfer of funds to the FBI wallet lasted about a day.

Now, in conjunction with the previously withdrawn bitcoins, the FBI actually owns 174 thousand bitcoins, and this is 3.15% of the total kritovruta, which is in circulation.

It is worth remembering that 111 thousand more bitcoins are on this wallet , which is also considered to be owned by Ulbricht. So far, the FBI seems to have no access to this wallet, so money is a dead weight.

Given all the above, we can assume that the rate of cryptocurrency will continue to grow, because the FBI seems to be going to eliminate the withdrawn, as previously reported . Among other things, those 111 thousand bitcoins can also be considered withdrawn from circulation, so it’s probably time to buy bitcoins.
