According to Forbes, the FBI confirmed they hold encrypted wallets in addition to what was already seized.

By what it doesn't say, that would seem to imply they do not have the decryption keys.

They don't so far. And this is most likely DPR's wallet: https://blockchain.info/address/1DkyBEKt5S2GDtv7aQw6rQepAvnsRyHoYM

At current Gox price its about $80-85 Million and about 5-6% of all bitcoins in existence.

That address has long been empty. It was part of the SR mixer/cold wallet.

Yes but the point is that it was used to move funds to his personal address in the past. If you look through the transaction logs of this address you will most likely be able to find any private wallets he kept for withdraws. I'm just too lazy to do it myself. But there are records of major transactions from this address in the past (20000+ BTC) which indicates this was possibly his personal wallet at some point. Or at least used to move funds to a personal wallet
