The forfeiture complaint [1] says:

> Chen personally maintained records of the wallet addresses and seed phrases associated with the private keys for each.

So it sounds like they have the seed phrases and thus the private keys.

is Chen in custody?

If not, why wouldn't he just transfer the funds to a new seed?

Allowing them to do what? The feds are saying they already have the keys, so either they are lying, or they already had the means to get the keys. Which would be the juicy part of the story.

It's gonna be difficult to explain why they were looking for lawyers, laundering, and statutes of limitations, if they didn't think they were doing anything wrong.

I'm curious how their search queries were able to be found, if anyone happens to know details about this.

"Why isn't my empire self-sufficient!?" is the neoliberal self-own of the century. I'm practically rooting for China at this point.

You mean the country which disappears its own citizens for expressing doubt at their "leadership"?

Perhaps.

My grandfather had Parkinson's, despite living a very simple and plain life with an excellent (and calculated) diet.

It's late but I spent way too long looking at the top image wondering what the weird phone angles were on the left and right until I realised it said AIR

Democritus (b 460BCE) said, “I would rather discover one cause than gain the kingdom of Persia,” which suggests that finding true causes is rather difficult.

perhaps in a similar way that it is impossible to directly "observe" a wavefunction without collapsing it into an observale "effect".

You are not only appealing to the imaginary authority of someone that you talked to while demanding that someone else cite sources, but you also seem neither to understand the subject you're talking about nor able to accurately recall the hearsay you're offering as evidence. When you are lost in the woods, seek out a map!

i'm not appealing to anything except for asking the dude who replied to me for a damn reference when I'm the one who was friends with researchers who told me about their own work. Learn how conversations work instead of trying to shit on other people. Jerk.
