I thought they seized 144,000 total?
They seized ~30'000 from SilkRoad servers, and were able to auction them right away. And seized another 144'000 from Ross's personal laptotp, so they are still disputing whether they are his or SilkRoad's; but both sides agreed to auction them now and continue disputing over the money. |

so.... anyone know, how much coin left to be auctioned next month  There is no date set, but they still have some 94'000 BTC to auction. From the way they split the coins today, it seems that they are planning another 50'000 BTC auction next, and then presumably one for the final 44'000. I thought they seized 144,000 total? 144,000 - 50,000 = 94,000 Wow!!! A word I think you missed out the word (Total)  Was the total seized 144 or not? |

So the original 30k was the first auction. Does anyone have the address for the remaining coins still held by the FBI? Maybe he wanted to sell at the bottom of the market, to make his "drug empire" worth less in the court room  |

This is just a technicality. When you're popped for running dope and there's a suitcase of money in your car, arguing the cash was obtained by legit means is pointless. Even the car, which is in your wife's name and takes your kids to soccer practice, gets auctioned off at a US Marshals auction, because fact  |

Actually right to sell and timing of sales was passed from Ross to USMS early this year. Its in the 'advert' for this auction. USMS have had full control of them for a while and still do. EDIT : probably part of a deal ... |

About "why can't we see the USMS transferring Draper's 2'000 BTC lot":
According to the Mirror venture, which is funded in part by Draper, he entered the auction through their syndicate. As explained above, a syndicate would probably submit several bids for 2000+3000=5000 BTC, and perhaps one for 2000 or 3000 BTC

Indeed, "on January 27, 2014". I hadn't noticed that. |

(So it may be that one of the bidders who won a 2000 BTC block defaulted, and the USMS has transferred the 48 000 BTC to those who paid, and didn't bother to split off the 2000 BTC chunk yet, waiting for the next bidder to pay.) Yes agreed... that is my take on it also.
Yes. Looks like that's already happened https://blockchain.info/fr/address/1CkrQEuoo7vX4YKjNPkgWExnRwEp9fVPaPIt also seems like there are several members of our little group who don't understand how Bitcoin change addresses work. |
