First question on my mind when i still didnt able to read up the article, i thought those bitcoins seized from an illegal exchange but when i do read up it do came from  LuL.to portal which illegally offered more than 200,000 e-books and audiobooks for sale. as stated on there when i read up but i dont know if its right for them to sell off on seized Bitcoins?

Nice article, it offers not only informations about the seized Bitcoin from an ebooks seller but it shows that the German authorities seized and sold hundreds of bitcoin + they are on hurry to sell not only Bitcoin but also btcash + btcgold... which happens to be the opposite of the bulgare authorities :

In Bulgaria, authorities are sitting on 213,519 Bitcoins, worth $1.5 billion. In November, NewsBTC reported that this would have been able to pay off a fifth of their national debt.
