OK, I know that the SilkRoad case is still under investigation but....
What will happen to all the seized coins after the case is closed?
Logically those coins should be destroyed, but is there any way to prove that they are?

Thanks! Actually I heard that many have shown interest but the point is that it is evidence. And once a case is closed evidence are destroyed right? (I could be wrong here) Like drugs. |

Let's try again.
I wasn't asking "that" it happened, I asked how, exactly, they were seized.

Judging by past US government history, probably that money will be used to overthrow democratically-elected leaders in nations that don't cooperate with US agenda, so they can install guys like Saddam Hussein.
Yeah, I said it. Whatcha gon' do, gubment goon?

I think I'd have implemented a contingency so gun or not, they aint gettin squat. Don't forget the feds are liars so it's always well within the scope of high probability that they're full of shit but wanted to scare people into thinking they're not really secure and their money can be stolen... To the feds, I'd say pics or GTFO  |

DPR Should find someone on the inside working for the FBI to get to the wallet, export the wallet.dat file and donate all of the bitcoins to the new SilkRoad

The plan is to auction them as seized property. |

The plan is to auction them as seized property. That doesn't sound very nice. What if the person that buys them get's them at a favorable price and decides to dump all of them at once when the price is good enough for them? Price crash once again.....  I think they should just destroy them Much better for mankind! |

Price crash once again..... I think they should just destroy them Much better for mankind! That's just what is done in the War on Drugs. Blame Reagan-era laws for that. Also blame DPR/Ross Ulbhricht for being dumb enough to leave a hot wallet with $80 million of his personal stash of bitcoins on the same laptop that he used to administer Silk Road, only an expensive password attack away from seizure. Otherwise the feds would have had only $20 million. |

Logically they should be given back to the rightful owners (gox account holders). That is an interesting subject there.... What do you think will happen if Mark went to the U.S. to stand trial? The U.S. government will add more coins to their wallet.... True story! |

They seized all of his computers and he no longer has access to the private keys for the coins. I do not know if the FBI have proven they do have access. Does anyone know? |
