Please understand no judgment being passed just clarification. No, the FBI confiscated AlphaBay's money because facilitating the sale of illegal goods is a crime. The fact that Mr. Stanley was in the process of making a purchase through their website is in itself unfortunate (ethical or unethical is not relevant). When you, Mr. Stanley, transact business with someone (in this case AlphaBay) who is committing a crime you take a risk. It this case you rolled the dice and you lost. If people want to do business on the dark web that is purely their right/business and they do so knowing that they are taking a risk with their money, etc. The people working for the FBI ar just doing their job. Based on your commentary you have an issue with the law and the political power that is based on that law. Ethics does not really come into play, IMO.
