US Attorney Announces $3.36B Cryptocurrency Seizure in Connection with Silk Road
I may get slammed for this, but I don’t understand the resources that apparently went into tracking down some kid who stole from an illegal marketplace a decade again.<p>This feels way less like “pursing justice” and more like trying to track down everything the just I’ve department can seize and auction off. If Bitcoin hadn’t <i>drastically</i> increased in value since the original event, would this have ever been tracked down?<p>I cant even count the number of much more consumer-impacting crypto-related frauds, crimes, and hacks from the last 3 years that would be more deserving of justice department attention, rather than focusing resources and attention on a double withdrawal bug from an illegal marketplace from a decade ago.
