According to PANews on October 14th, blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on the X platform that the wallet addresses corresponding to the approximately 127,000 Bitcoins (approximately $14 billion) confiscated by the US government today were previously identified as vulnerable to private key vulnerabilities in a security research report (Milky Sad Report) two years ago. ZachXBT stated that the US government's claim that these addresses are "taken over and under its custody" raises concerns about how they were acquired. When a user asked "whether the BTC was transferred to a safer wallet", ZachXBT responded: "Unlikely, it seems more like someone helped the US government 'hack' it back." This statement implies that the relevant BTC may not have been obtained through conventional legal means.According to PANews on October 14th, blockchain sleuth ZachXBT posted on the X platform that the wallet addresses corresponding to the approximately 127,000 Bitcoins (approximately $14 billion) confiscated by the US government today were previously identified as vulnerable to private key vulnerabilities in a security research report (Milky Sad Report) two years ago.

Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!”
The post Coinbase Issues Cryptocurrency Call to US Justice Department: “Solve Urgent Problems!” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, stated that there should be uniform cryptocurrency regulation in the country. At this point, Coinbase sent a letter to the US Department of Justice requesting that federal regulators prevent state regulations from conflicting with national crypto policies and ensure uniform regulatory clarity. Coinbase’s request comes after the state of Oregon filed a lawsuit against Coinbase for unregistered securities, despite the SEC withdrawing its lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange. Coinbase states that although the country’s top regulator, the SEC, withdrew its lawsuit, states are filing lawsuits in defiance of the SEC’s decision. In the letter, addressed by Coinbase Legal Counsel Paul Grewal, he stated: “Despite the Trump administration’s positive regulatory efforts, crypto companies are being negatively impacted by states’ flawed interpretations of securities laws and their divergent actions. If Oregon can sue us for services that are legal under federal law, we have a problem. It has long been clear that the current patchwork of state laws is not only inefficient, but also slows innovation and harms consumers. At this point, the Justice Department should take steps to address the pressing issues by calling on Congress to step in and enact comprehensive and uniform regulations.” Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield filed a lawsuit against Coinbase last April, alleging that Coinbase was promoting the sale of unregistered cryptocurrencies to individuals in Oregon. *This is not investment advice.
