A hacker identified only as Individual X had been sitting
on a cryptocurrency gold mine for seven years before the IRS came knocking.More
than seven years have passed since Ross Ulbricht was arrested
in the science fiction section of a San Francisco library and charged with running the sprawling, dark web
drug bazaar known as the Silk Road. But when the Feds laid
hands on Ulbricht's laptop that day, they found keys to unlock
only a fraction of the bitcoins that he had amassed within the
Silk Road's years of bustling black darkode market drug trade.
Today the Justice Department finally revealed the place where
a billion-dollar tranche of the Silk Road's treasure wound up: stolen by a strange hacker, and now seized by the US Treasury.
