Link to the purported address: https://blockchain.info/address/1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN455paPH https://blockchain.info/address/1FfmbHfnpaZjKFvyi1okTjJJusN4... I'm not sure you can call it "seized" if the balance hasn't moved to a different address, which would be proof that they have ownership. Until then they can claim they have found the money.

The bitcoins were moved to this address today, October 25. This is likely an address controlled by the FBI.

  As I read the article, the address is owned by DPR and the FBI seized the associated wallet.

    Since they can't be sure DPR doesn't have a confederate or dead-man-switch process somewhere with the private key, it's not good enough to seize/know his key: they have to move balances to a new address that only they control.

  You're right, I haven't noticed that. However, quoting Forbes: > The FBI official wouldn’t say how the agency had determined that the Bitcoin “wallet”–a collection of Bitcoins at a single address in the Bitcoin network–belonged to Ulbricht, but that it was sure they were his.

  Lots of 324BTC transactions. 324 is how you dial FBI.
