I wonder what the goverment is going to do with all the sized bitcoins..


Do you have a cite for them seizing bitcoins? It'd be most hilariously pitiful if a large amount of SR's money was in /root/wallet.dat with no passphrase or the passphrase in /tmp/unlock.php.


These articles (among others) mention the seizure... but I don't see any details about the process.
