>Based on ... I have probable cause to believe that the aforementioned property may be seized... Forgive me if this is a dumb question; I have not used a blockchain explorer for anything consequential. Isn't that wallet just the last place it ended up? So, you have chain of custody but does that prove that the owner of that wallet is the "target"?

Nope, but the recipient is welcome to come to the US, show up at the FBI and ask for it back.

I think generally speaking, someone in possession of stolen property isn't entitled to keep that property even if they had nothing to do with the theft and had no reason to believe it was stolen. That prevents them from being guilty of a crime - but authorities can still come seize the property without compensating them at all for their loss. In a way it's similar to getting stuck with counterfeit money. You didn't do anything wrong, but no one is going to just hand you the replacement real money you "deserve" - you just got unlucky.
