The FBI was and still might be the largest holder of Bitcoin in the world. From the Silk Road and BTC-e, they have sized hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin. I believe one of the BTC-e addresses had over 550k bitcoin in it at the time of seizure. Anyone know more about the situation? How much they have, how much they have auctioned, how much they might just keep. The history of these event and the current status is really muddy and hard to research so I'm hoping there are some Bitcoin OG's on here who can provide some history.Bonus wild idea: If the FBI/US Govt decide to keep the Bitcoin they have and not even auction, we may have our first central bank Bitcoin holding and not even realize it.
