Wu said that he learned that financial lawyer Scott Johnsson tweeted that the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) is almost certainly selling Silk Road's bitcoins. According to the service agreement signed between USMS and Coinbase in June, USMS has been sending bitcoins to the escrow address required by the agreement. Given that the agreement requires that USMS's assets must remain completely isolated, once the transfer eventually reaches Coinbase Prime (or other mixed transaction addresses), it can be determined that USMS has sold or is about to sell these bitcoins. Formal confirmation will be confirmed at the latest in the report on the Department of Justice's asset forfeiture program in fiscal year 2024. Previously, the U.S. government transferred nearly $600 million worth of bitcoins to Coinbase Prime.
