Coins were seized in October 2013 during a raid on Ulbricht’s computer equipment.
The total number of BTC previously owned by Ulbricht and now in possession of the US government is 144,336, which is around $35 770 on today's exchange rate.
Those actions “could easily bring the price of BTC down to US$150 within a short time period following the closing of the auction.”
