      The federal government says it seized by court order $2.3 million of the ransom paid by Colonial Pipeline. The FBI had the password to the hackers' Bitcoin account, @PeteWilliamsNBC reports. “Today we turned the tables on DarkSide,” says Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco.

      .@KenDilanianNBC notes, via the below court document, that the hackers kept their bitcoin on a server located in Northern California, within the reach of U.S. law: https://twitter.com/Bing_Chris/status/1401986750306832390/photo/1pic.twitter.com/p0bKesWgSm

      Clarification via @KenDilanianNBC: While Bitcoin isn’t stored on a server, the private keys to unlock the Bitcoin may have been. In any event, an FBI official just told reporters that it doesn’t matter where the Bitcoin wallet is—the FBI still can get access. They won’t say how.

          I like the idea of that being sold to the masses, but anyone who understand asymmetrical encryption is going to have a hard time believing this. Whoever left these keys sitting around were just stupid in the handling.

          The FBI cannot get access to Bitcoin wallets. They have no special backdoor, technology, or techniques that give them access.

          It’s possible the FBI compelled someone to reveal the private keys to the Bitcoin address in question. It’s possible they compelled a custodian to give up the Bitcoin. It’s possible the hackers were foolish enough to store their private keys on a computer instead of offline.

          1) Who keeps their private key with that much money on a server 2) This is false - is the FBI going to torture someone that has their private key memorized?

          its also possible that Wayne V/ Tierion's suspicious 2017 $25M crypto ICO money raise may now get looked into, again. anything is possible.
