- aredington 13y agoAs I read the article, the address is owned by DPR and the FBI seized the associated wallet.
- gojomo 13y agoSince 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.
- VMG 13y agoYou'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.
