The lawyer’s claims spark questions about market stability amid the potential sale of Silk Road Bitcoin by the US Marshals.
United States finance lawyer Scott Johnsson has said the US Marshals Service (USMS) is almost certainly in the process of selling Bitcoin seized from the infamous Silk Road marketplace.
Johnsson’s assertions are grounded in a service agreement signed between the USMS and Coinbase in June. According to Johnsson, this agreement indicates that once Bitcoin (BTC) reaches Coinbase Prime, it is a clear sign that the USMS has either sold or is about to sell these assets.
Johnsson explained that the USMS has been sending Bitcoin to a custodial address in accordance with the agreement’s terms.
