Even if they did have a flaw / backdoor for SHA2, which is very unlikely, they would be mega retards for ever using it unless it was for a massive security issue. All your internet banking and tons of other things rely on it, if there was an exploit then all hell would break loose!

In terms of the FBI cashing out the silk road BTC, they can only do that once it has gone to trial and a verdict has been decided.
