US: $28 Million bitcoins seized from Silk Road Server. A large number of bitcoins worth
$28 million have been seized by the US. These bitcoins were taken into custody from
the black website Silk Road’s server and transferred to the US government
several months after it was seized. The reports said that the US government claimed
that this currency was used to facilitate money laundering. This action came
just a day after the when a Manhattan judge approved the penalty of the bitcoins
and the website.
The
move also comes three months after San Francisco entrepreneur Ross Ulbricht was
arrested on charges he operated an online marketplace for illegal drugs.
