The latest transfer of funds follows the seizure of over 50,000 Bitcoin from James Zhong, who recently pled guilty to wire fraud for unlawfully obtaining the Bitcoin from the Silk Road dark web marketplace in 2012. Law enforcement seized the Bitcoin from Zhong&#8217;s home in Gainesville, Georgia, in November 2021, in what was the largest cryptocurrency seizure in the history of the US Department of Justice.
