What does that mean?
- batch12 5y agoYeah this was confusing to me as well. I assumed that it was related to the devices that were seized[0] from the darkside group. Maybe this means the keys/wallet was is what the FBI gained access to. [0] From the article: > On May 13, DarkSide told affiliates that its servers and other infrastructure had been seized, but didn’t specify where or how.
- lesuorac 5y ago64/75 = ~85% so the non-darkside individual(s) transferred their bitcoins to an address FBI of North District of CA has (Page 7, #34) [1]. How they got it I've yet to see an article on. [1]: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1402056/download https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1402056/downl... Edit: My assumption is that the blacked out portion names an informant who made the transfer.
