Despite the U.S. government seizing a large portion of Bitcoin<\/a> <\/strong>associated with Silk Road, these wallets were never confiscated and have been dormant for over 13 years.<\/p>\n

This revelation<\/a> <\/strong>comes shortly after President Donald Trump granted Ulbricht a full pardon. Trump criticized the harshness of Ulbricht\u2019s double life sentence, calling it excessive compared to others involved in similar platforms. The pardon has reignited debates about the case and its broader implications for cryptocurrency and justice.<\/p>\n

Grogan expressed doubts that Ulbricht still has access to the wallet keys, but noted that the addresses have been tracked publicly through court documents and other sources. While Ulbricht\u2019s release marks a significant shift in the story, the fate of the dormant Bitcoin adds a layer of mystery to an already controversial saga.<\/p>\n
