The US Marshals Service said Monday it will auction 50,000 bitcoins seized during the prosecution of the alleged owner of Silk Road, an Internet black-market bazaar where authorities say illegal drugs and other goods could be bought.

An online auction is scheduled for Dec. 4 for the bitcoins, valued at nearly $19.8 million. It would be the Marshals Service`s second such auction following an earlier one in June for almost 30,000 bitcoins seized during the 2013 raid on Silk Road.

Who's to say if this was the cause for the buy/sell crash this year ?

Why are you bumping up a 3 month old thread to make a generic statement like this?
