, are on the move from addresses thought to be seized by the U.S. Department of Justice , according to a tweet from Wu Blockchain.
This activity comes on the heels of the DOJ's previous sale of 9,800 BTC on March 14 and the planned sale of another 41,500 BTC within a year. Notably, 8,200 BTC went to new wallets while the rest is debated as they are potentially just being shifted to new addresses within their original wallets. Silk Road was a notorious online black market on the dark web, which was primarily known for illegal drug sales. It used Bitcoin as its main currency, making transactions virtually untraceable and adding to the allure of the platform for those wishing to conduct illicit activities.The platform was in operation from 2011 until 2013 when it was shut down by the FBI, leading to the arrest of its creator, Ross Ulbricht, who is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
