Does the money confiscated go into some anti drug charity or something? Hmm, dumb question, I see.

I believe they sold the bitcoin and it was applied to his debt. Sad part is he still owes a lot of money.

Yeah, they sold the Bitcoins, but where is the money going to?

I think it  just goes back into the system ie the funds they use to keep the FBI running or whatever. Seems pretty corrupt to me. It's like stealing from thieves to keep your own racket going. The money should be given to charity in my opinion but they'll probably argue the FBI is a non-profit  Grin.
