I would say that such auctions do not happen very often.
The US Marshall is no longer doing auctions for digital assets such as crypto unless it's a repayment seizure, they re doing OTC deals, same happened as per the article you quote:
In March 2023, the U.S. transferred BTC confiscated from the Silk Road hacker to Coinbase. In April, the government sold another 9,861 BTC. Then, in January, government officials announced their intention to sell some of the cryptocurrency associated with the Silk Road case. The statement mentioned assets of 2,934 BTC.
You will only hear about those sales after the fillings for each case are submitted.
As for Phil, initial question, aml bots are crap!
I don't know who was lying about that but look how an adress that was funded via crypto.com
First, AMLBOT entity is a completely different company, which we have client-customer connections only. You can check full info about their company on their website
https://amlbot.com/, and you have all their legal information available at the header of the AML report. AMLbot is a trusted tool widely used (not only by us) to ensure the safety of crypto transactions, for any questions about how their system works you can address the information on their website. We must note that the AML reports like one you received are issued automatically and cannot be changed nor by us, neither by the company behind the bot itself, so there is no conspiracy to rip you off your money behind that
AMLBOT is overpriced garbage that nobody is taking serious.
And I'm going to prove you how crappy that service is right here

It might trigger a ton of false positives and at the same time label them as clean coins from an exchange despite those being stolen from somebody via phishing.
