币界网报道：This article reviews Ross Ulbricht's story with Bitcoin and explores how he could have become the world's richest Bitcoin holder. In 2014, the U.S. government, through the Marshals Service, first auctioned nearly 30,000 Bitcoins seized from the main Silk Road wallet, which were worth about $18 million at the time and are now worth about $3.3 billion. After Ross was arrested in 2013, his personal 144,000 Bitcoins were also seized, and the government auction yielded only $48 million, now worth more than $15 billion. In addition, 120,000 Bitcoins were stolen from the Silk Road operating wallet by hackers. If Ross still controlled all of these Bitcoins, his total assets would reach nearly 300 million Bitcoins, worth about $30.7 billion, making him the largest Bitcoin holder on the network. The article also mentions a mistake during the auction that led to the disclosure of the identities of 40 bidders, and the eventual purchase of all the auctioned Bitcoins by venture capitalist Tim Draper for $19 million. Despite this, Ross eventually gained his freedom. The article is excerpted from the Supply Shock newsletter.
