Google Ross Albricht. He had over 400,000 BTC at the time of the arrest. FBI, DEA and Secret Service recovered it all. And he was a technically savvy inventor not some Gucci clad crooner who doesn't even understand how Bitcoin works.

Ulbricht's laptop was snatched during the raid.

He didn't have enough time to cover hia tracks

Those of you saying Bitcoin can not be traced are making me to laugh! You basically have no idea how blockchain tech works! Bitcoin transactions are out there in the public for the average person with basic computer knowledge to access and trace. You pay a fee to miners to confirm your Bitcoin transaction so that everyone can see that a transaction existed. What is not 'easily known' is who has the money that is being moved as the money is attached to wallet addreses instead.

This is why crypto exchanges force you to do KYC. This is also why they limit your withdrawals to a few million naira (Binance I dey eye you), all these are based on anti money laundering laws.

You can try to use mixing services to confuse intending forensic investigators but the problem here is it is difficult to mix huge sums of bitcoins through mixers.

Another major thing that can expose you is your ip address. Bitcoin addreses can be mapped to an ip address. You still think you are anonymous abi? ��� VPN will not save you when these forensic investigators get on your matter!

As for passwords to your wallet, there are devices that can be used to brute force Wood.berry' passwords, the strength of his password will determine how long it will take to gain access. It can range from 1 minute to months! They already have his fingerprints if there's need for that. If he's using a cold storage device like trezor, that one too can be hacked by the FBI with specialized equipment.

If you still think otherwise, google criminals that were apprehended using bitcoin transactions.
I don't think the guy will keep the money on centralized wallet that will require password to access. Even if he does, they don't require his help before they take the money. They will just contact the the wallet developers and the money will be retrieve. He's not the only one that have control of his private. But in case he store the money on DEX, they will need to force him to get seed phrase and private key of the wallet.

American police follow the rule of Law. They can't torture anybody like Nigerian police. Except you be terrorist wey set up bombs everywhere

You people watch too much of Hollywood movies. FBI has ways of torturing people who defraud Americans. They are even worse than SARS when it comes to dealing with criminals.

Bitcoin has the responsibility to reveal information required for legal matters.

Every business, even fraudster businesses will not protect one big fish to the derriment of its own ultimate survival.

If the USA can squeeze the balls of Huawei to the extent that it affected China, talk less BITCOIN.

Woodberry was arrested at 1am while he was sleeping. So he covered his tracks? Also, unlike Albricht, he did not put his bitcoins in offline wallets, so his would be easier to recover.

they don't even need to wait for quantum computing bros... this is an international crime, most of those bitcoin platforms are america owned.. if you store coins on blockchain, blockchain have your data... is just like normal network provider.. they cant divulge your data unless requested for....they can compromise your data...

For examples there are some apps that can recover deleted files on phone... imagine that..so nothing is untraceable in technology
exactly..same way Microsoft, Facebook,google ,Amazon etc allow FBI and CIA to access criminals data

Quantum Computing does not exist and is still a long way from coming to reality.

if u underrate the power of quantum computing and AI in 5 years time ,u would be lost in future

keep supporting scammers, by the time western countries/companies move to cloud computing and quantum computing becomes operational,these scammers u are supporting will descend on fellow Nigerians

Word.

Reason we all need to speak out against them NOW. That was how kidnapping started and Nigerians were not bothered as only foreigners were being kidnapped. Now, common man sef is not exempted.

They can't decode anything, worst case scenario is to hack the wallets servers and hopefully decrypt their usernames and passwords.


Quantum computing is not a reality yet, and moreover Bitcoin servers are near impossible to hack
you don't know anything, FBI and sister agency CIA has exclusive access to get all those login without blinking a drop of sweat. It's just a matter of asking the the back-end server that kept the login. US is watching every one on Web and can access whatever they want.
