“Democrats legacy: A loss of more than $18.5 billion in unrealized value for American taxpayers,” the senator wrote on social media.
Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis sent a letter to the United States Marshals Service on Jan. 15 demanding answers for the government’s potential sale of 69,370 Bitcoin (BTC) seized in the Silk Road asset forfeiture.
Lummis characterized attempts to sell the US government’s Bitcoin holdings as a form of political spite. In an excerpt of the letter provided by Politico, the senator wrote:
The potential sale of the Silk Road BTC was given the green light after Judge Richard Seeborg denied a petition to block the asset forfeiture.
