He stole 50,000 Bitcoin from Silk Road, hid it for 9 years, and the feds found the keys in a popcorn tin 😅 I mapped the James Zhong seizure. 2012 he exploited Silk Road’s payment system and walked off with ~50k BTC. Then he sat on it for almost a decade. November 2021, IRS-CI hits his Gainesville house and pulls ~50,491 BTC (~$3.36B at the time) off devices in a floor safe… and a single-board computer stuffed under blankets inside a popcorn tin in a bathroom closet. Also in the house: $661k cash and 25 Casascius coins (1 BTC equivalent each). The on-chain part is what got him. Years later he mixed a Silk Road-linked address into a spend with a wallet that already had his name on it. One clustered transaction. That’s the whole movie.
