The guy is still at large, but the govt has the keys? How did that happen?
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Justice Department’s National Security Division also filed today a civil forfeiture complaint against approximately 127,271 Bitcoin, currently worth approximately $15 billion, that are proceeds and instrumentalities of the defendant’s fraud and money laundering schemes, and were previously stored in unhosted cryptocurrency wallets whose private keys the defendant had in his possession. Those funds (the Defendant Cryptocurrency) are presently in the custody of the U.S. government.”

The staking field is already unlevel.
Anyone celebrating this will have this happen to them next.
It doesn't matter about your rights, due process, you have a duress pin, multi-sig, etc.
As long as it's a pre-quantum seed phrase the government can kill you, wait until quantum technology is capable of breaking the seed phrase then confiscate all your bitcoin.
The only way to stop this is to stand up, fight, and use post quantum protocols for your Bitcoin.
If you think governments will wait for “quantum computers” to take your Bitcoin, you’ve already fallen for the psyop. Bitcoin’s threat isn’t quantum, it’s trust. Those who fear the former usually can’t see the latter.
They want you to believe that Bitcoin is threatened by quantum physics.
The truth is, quantum physics is threatened by Bitcoin.
