$28M in bitcoins seized from man suspected of running Silk Road drug website
    #19034556 - 10/26/13 08:24 AM (10 years, 5 months ago)

http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/28m-in-bitcoins-seized-from-man-suspected-of-running-silk-road-drug-website-1.1514423

NEW YORK - The United States Attorney in New York says about $28 million worth of bitcoins have been seized from a man charged with operating a notorious online drug marketplace known as Silk Road.

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Friday more than 144,000 bitcoins were found on computer hardware belonging to Ross William Ulbricht.

Federal authorities in New York have charged Ulbricht with three felonies related to the operation of the website. He was sent to New York from California earlier this month.

The federal public defender who represented Ulbricht in California declined to comment. His New York attorney didn't immediately return messages.

Silk Road gained notoriety as a black market bazaar where drugs could be bought and sold using bitcoins, a form of online cash.

Thought there was 80 million$ in his wallet? Did they break his password?

Ulbricht was arrested for allegedly being DPR. They just now gained access to his BTC.

I think you must be confused and read this story as though someone new was arrested.

I noticed this when I opened the story link:

Looks like Ulbrichts fate is in the hands of a public defender.

This prohibition shit makes me sick to no end, and at the heart of it is the abrahamic religion. Shoving their black and gray 'morality" down the worlds throat as an excuse for exploitation, makes me sick

the real question is... what are they gonna do with all those bitcoins?  They want to declare BTC to be an illegitimate currency but they have $28M of it on their hands.  Use it to bust sellers?  invest in overseas top secret government terrorism?

I dont think the real silk road guy is that dumb... He has enough money in bitcoins to stay on the run for the rest of his life and live like a king.

lol yeah people act like "the real DPR" must have been some mythical loco bandito motherfucker with a Russian hit team and his own island in the Mediterranean. the reality is he coded a website with a great concept but it just got out of hand. Silk Road is done but there will always be an online drug world. so far it sure hasn't gone anywhere. business as usual.

All good with me the only thing I ever did is look. I'm to chicken shit to buy shit in the mail like other guys. Drug deals in person are tons safer IMO you can see who looking or your behind closed doors.

The party's not over, and the fun is just starting. You have to break some eggs to make a soufflĂ©. As long as there is a supply and demand, people are going to find ways to keep the cycle going. Don't be intimidated by "the man". It's just an image in a cheap blue suit with a badge and shitty aftershave with doughnut crumbs and coffee stains on its uniform.

He probably didn't think he would be caught, so he wasn't prepared enough to stash some money for a rainy day fund/ a good attorney.
