That's a large amount of coins but they are not holding it as an investment. They'd probably auction it off and pay the affected people in USD. This if done at once could even flood the market with tradeable coins.
The government of US won't probably confiscate your coins unless you commit a crime like running an online illegal marketplace like silkroad. But that can't be said true for governments like CCP.

I am not sure about that. They seem to be holding onto it for a mighty long time. This is worrisome. This whole thing about the dark web and the black markets is just crazy and blown overboard. They talk about it like everyone there is some weirdo. Some of us believe in freedom some of us otal freedom. An open and decentralized market sounds like freedom to me. It sounds like something from star trek or something where everything is legal (Besides A logical person's sound mind when it comes to causing harm to others) Like just because theft might be legal doesn't mean everyone will do it or that there are no consequences.

Then the mainstream media and public got hold of it and twisted it around it still makes me chuckle when I hear them talk about "Online hitman" "Murder for hire" "Red rooms" and other such nonsense that only makes sense in a twisted persons head or a story tellers head like a horror writer.

Most likely the most destructive thing sold there were drugs. Which many believe should be legal anyway. Unless there were people activiely trading in explosives or such things I don't really see the big deal.

In fact fewer people died buying drugs online than offline waiting on some filthy street corner for some strange individual you know you cant trust. Hmmm... But then again happy people don't wait around for drug dealers, right? So maybe it is a psychological problem then? But sure let's blame drugs and act like they the big problem.
