Watch on LBRY:

Last week, $1 billion of bitcoin was seized by the DOJ, money that a hacker allegedly stole from the Silk Road in 2012.
The hacker's lawyer calls him a "modern-day Robin Hood".
But a couple of things to keep in mind:
- The Hacker was most likely coerced to hand over the keys under heavy duress
- The money was given to the DOJ so that they can continue their war on p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ drugs, sending non-violent people to jail. Possibly the least noble use of the money I can think of.
And I still have a LOT of questions about what actually took place.
