A Massive Amount of Mysterious BTC Was Transferred to Ross Ulbricht, Who Lost All His Bitcoin to the US Government – What Does This Mean?

Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht is back in the spotlight for the first time since he was released from custody following a presidential pardon in January. Released after 11 years in prison, Ulbricht auctioned off his personal belongings four months later and soon received a mysterious Bitcoin transfer worth millions of dollars. Several of Ulbricht’s personal belongings, including ID cards from his prison years, a blank rehabilitation notebook and oil paintings he made while in prison, were put up for sale on the Bitcoin-based auction platform Scarce City. The auction raised a total of 12.31 BTC, or about $1.3 million at current prices. The highest bid was Ulbricht’s last prison ID card, issued just months before his release. It sold for 5.5 BTC (around $600,000). Ulbricht said that a guard asked him not to smile during his ID photoshoot, but he smiled anyway: “My joy comes from within, so I smiled that day, even though I was in prison.” Related News: One of the Big Names in the Cryptocurrency Industry Allegedly on the Brink of Bankruptcy: Rapid Denial from the Company Immediately following the auction, a single transaction of 300 BTC (approximately $31 million) was made to a donation wallet linked to Ulbricht.

More than 2.6 BTC were previously donated to Ulbricht in January, the day he was pardoned by President Donald Trump, in over 170 transactions. *This is not investment advice.
