Title: [2016-08-21] FBI using coins seized from Silk Road to buy leaked NSA files? Post by: Shiroslullaby on August 21, 2016, 11:28:19 PM https://krypt3ia.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/shadowbrokers-bitcoin-transactions-now-theres-some-taint-for-you/
Anyone following recent tech news undoubtedly saw the "ShadowBrokers Group" dump of (supposed) NSA tools and their claim that they would auction off more (again supposedly) newer tools. The auction is being done in Bitcoin with a buy it now price of 1 million BTC!!! Recent analysis of Blockchain transactions suggest that coins sent to the address are possibly some of the BTC that was seized from Ross Ulbricht. More info on the original NSA files can be found here, for anyone that needs to catch up: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/former-nsa-staffers-rogue-insider-shadow-brokers-theory http://motherboard.vice.com/en_ca/read/what-we-know-about-the-exploits-dumped-in-nsa-linked-shadow-brokers-hack https://blogs.cisco.com/security/shadow-brokers |
