I'm more interested in how the DOJ "recovered" all that bitcoin. Were all the addresses and wallet printed out on hard paper to trace? Did they gain access to a digital wallet and take it over? How're they going to handle refunding those stolen coins to their original owners? What about recourse for the coins that were sold on to others? They can't lie and hide it for themselves by saying they don't know where it came from or where they went. That's the whole point of blockchain!
