I would think that anyone who knows a little about how the U. S. Government works would have guessed quite accurately when and how the auction would take place. They must dispose of any property that they seize according to the law. They had neither the choice nor the motivation to keep the coins, trade with them, or sell them in a private deal.

Couldn't they just "destroy" them, as they do for illegal stuff like drugs ? (send them to a random address and not store the private key)

The fact that they sell them instead of destroying them has a strong meaning.

^the guvnment destroying drugs? *thats news to me! LOL =)

When I thought about this it seems stupid to destroy a large drug shipment. THey should really sell it back to the cartels for a discount over production costs. This way intercepting drugs would be profitable.

they shouldn't wast there time, drugs should be legal but perceived as taboo.

government should tax the shit for the sales of drugs.

crime would go down, revanus up, and smiles all around.

thing is they can't stop it from happening, i doubt there would be much of an increase in use of these drugs anyway,

drug use might actually drop because it might lose its "cool factor"?? idk maybe

anyway legalize drugs, and tax tax tax them, unless paid with bitcoin! Cheesy
