Bit of clickbait title as the scam happened in 2013 and i put the USD value of today, but i got you to click.

I read about it couple months ago, but I stumbled on the content again, so i thought I would share it here in case some don't know about it.


Apparently in 2013, the OG owner of SilkRoad was scammed by 1 person in a massive scam where that 1 person used multiple account to act like a Seller who's a scammer, a MiddleMan that got scammed and want his money, and a Drug supplier who's also a Hitman and is the one the MM owes money to, and created a whole story to scam the owner for a total of 7225 BTC (valued at 97,808,437.50 at the moment of posting this thread )


A video going into the scam:

My question is.
Who is in possession of the BTC now?

[flavoral]

Looks like the wallet has been dormant for a while. Maybe it was lost.

He probably tried to "wash" the money really quick or spend it quickly and cashout. But the funds themselves are still around. If you keep following the funds to each addy it was sent to till now, there are some as recent as last month i think.

WTH! I can't even imagine that much money.

[vyvanse]

Jesus christ! I wonder where that money is now & who has access to it.

[Dorrance]

The question is how will you move that much BTC.

[Ortek]

That was an interesting video to watch, thanks for sharing.

Why wonder where it went, it didn't go into your wallet is all you need to know lol

[Monero-chan]

Whoever has the money today is living the life of their dreams, ill tell you that.

I don't think you can 🤣🤣
Even if you buy like 1000 verified exchange accounts and just slowly tumble a set amount of BTC to that account and then convert it to another crypto and do a lot of other shit, some sad cunt is gonna sit there and hunt you down cuz u stole their coke money 🤣 or a fed, either way its gonna be stressful for this lad to do

RIP to that dude I remember hearing about this awhile back, but even in 2013 this would still be considered a lot..

I mean he doesn’t have to move it all at once nor would he have to worry about work or anything like that just move enough to live off off

I remember seeing an article saying that some feds got arrested for trying to steal some of the BTC they seized.

No but I imagine these addresses are being heavily monitored, so whatever the owner tries to do will be under heavy surveillance and probably a large risk for it lmao.

Wouldn't surprise me, just cuz they got a badge don't mean they aren't scum haha
