I'm curious how the Bitcoin was actually seized, given that the indictment says the perp is still at large and held the Bitcoin in self custodied wallets.




He has the key written on a piece of paper in his wallet. The US government has his wallet. And his Bitcoin.

So he was effectively carrying $15B in his wallet? That's insane. I don't even carry more than $100 cash.
