[12.7 Billion Bitcoin Controlled by the U.S. Government May Be Linked to Private Key Vulnerability Addresses]
On-chain analyst ZachXBT posted on social media, pointing out that the wallet addresses associated with approximately 127,000 Bitcoin (current market value around $14 billion) announced as being taken over by the U.S. government were reported by Milky Sad Report two years ago as having private key vulnerability risks. ZachXBT emphasized that these addresses are now claimed by the U.S. government to be under its custody, sparking external concerns about how they were obtained.
When asked by a user whether these Bitcoins had been transferred to more secure wallets, ZachXBT responded, 'Unlikely, it seems more like someone helped the U.S. government "hack" them back.' This comment suggests that the acquisition of these Bitcoins may not have been through traditional legal procedures.
