I'm not real up-to-date on the intricacies of cryto, but thought it was supposed to be a de-centralized, anonymous "currency"

Stolen Bitcoin worth more than $4bn (Β£2.9bn) has been seized by the US Department of Justice - the largest ever confiscation of its kind.

Officials also charged two people on Tuesday with attempting to launder the money, stolen by a hacker who breached a cryptocurrency platform in 2016.

The hacker allegedly made off with nearly 120,000 Bitcoin. Then valued at about $71m, its value now exceeds $5bn.

About 94,000 Bitcoin have been recovered.

Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite Jr said the seizure was proof the government "will not allow cryptocurrency to be a safe haven for money laundering or a zone of lawlessness within our financial system".
