i am so confused (not a critique... i mean i just dont understand). the FBI "seizes funds", where did they exchange a tens of thousands of bitcoin and convert that into us dollars? who was the broker? who said "OK FBI heres a billion usd, we will take those bitcoins from you which are quasilegal anyways and give you a billion dollars in usd cash in exchange". ..... and if they didnt exchange them for cash, then is the FBI sitting on a bunch of bitcoins in some account somewhere? and how did they determine the exchange rate? .... did they seize it as currency or as an asset? where do they keep the seized funds?

like you said there should be a book!

I don't have these answers but I have some friends who work in fed agencies, and last time the topic came up, I was told they seize the bitcoin but aren't able to turn it into funds that they can use, similar to physical seizure of property. Not sure if that's only for a specific time limit or for forever, or where the bitcoin is stored.
