According to a press release by the Department of Justice, the billion-dollar seizure is from a man who “unlawfully obtained” the coins from the dark web market, Silk Road, over a decade ago. The report said James Zhong, who was accused of committing wire fraud in September 2012 when he unlawfully obtained over 50,000 BTC, pled guilty on Friday.
