The Russian government is preparing to liquidate Bitcoin worth 10 million USD, seized from the international cybercrime group Infraud. During the investigation, 5,212 BTC were confiscated, with plans to sell over 1,000 BTC, valued at nearly 100 million USD. 🪙

This Bitcoin was discovered during the investigation of Major Marat Tambiev, who is accused of receiving a bribe of 1,032 BTC to avoid the seizure of the remaining amount. Tambiev was sentenced to 16 years in prison and fined over 5 million USD. 🏛️

The liquidation of this BTC is complicated due to legal issues, but the Russian authorities remain determined to proceed. Meanwhile, the U.S. is also planning to sell the BTC from Silk Road.
