According to PANews on October 14th, blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on the X platform that the wallet addresses corresponding to the approximately 127,000 Bitcoins (approximately $14 billion) confiscated by the US government today were previously identified as vulnerable to private key vulnerabilities in a security research report (Milky Sad Report) two years ago. ZachXBT stated that the US government's claim that these addresses are "taken over and under its custody" raises concerns about how they were acquired. When a user asked "whether the BTC was transferred to a safer wallet", ZachXBT responded: "Unlikely, it seems more like someone helped the US government 'hack' it back." This statement implies that the relevant BTC may not have been obtained through conventional legal means.According to PANews on October 14th, blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on the X platform that the wallet addresses corresponding to the approximately 127,000 Bitcoins (approximately $14 billion) confiscated by the US government today were previously identified as vulnerable to private key vulnerabilities in a security research report (Milky Sad Report) two years ago.
