Also completely baffled how the feds got access to the private key and why an elite Russian hacking group would store their crypto on a US based server. At the same time, the obvious tin foil hat answer of it was the feds who concocked the entire scheme also doesn't add up. If the NSA/CIA was behind it, they would be smart enough to not use a US based server / wallet. That makes the story inconsistent, and brings up the questions I am asking here. Instead, they would just use a clean wallet (preferably out of Russia). I.E. the misdirection and misinformation does not add up if it was an "inside job" by the US government.
