Breaking News: DOJ Prepares to Flex Its Crypto Wallet with $6.5 Billion in $BTC Sales!
In a plot twist straight out of a heist movie, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has been given the green light to offload a staggering $6.5 billion worth of Bitcoin. This isn’t your average yard sale—it’s the spoils from the infamous Silk Road marketplace, once the dark web’s favorite shady hangout.
Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg slammed the gavel and said, “Let’s cash in!”—or something close to that—rejecting a motion to block the forfeiture of a jaw-dropping 69,370 Bitcoin. That’s right, folks, the DOJ is now sitting on more digital currency than most crypto bros could dream of, and they’re ready to make it rain... responsibly, of course.
The Silk Road, often described as Amazon but with a sinister twist, was shut down in 2013, leaving behind a treasure trove of cryptocurrency. After years of legal wrangling, the government now holds the keys to this digital fortune.
