ZachXBT: Some of the 127,000 BTC in US government custody originated from addresses with private key vulnerabilities
2025-10-14 16:08

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Chain Detective ZachXBT posted on the X platform that the wallet addresses corresponding to the approximately 127,000 bitcoins (approximately $14 billion) confiscated by the US government today were previously identified as vulnerable to private key vulnerabilities in a security research report (Milky Sad Report) two years ago. ZachXBT stated that the US government now claims these addresses have been "taken over and held in its custody," raising concerns about their acquisition method. When a user inquired about whether the funds were transferred to a more secure wallet, ZachXBT responded, "Unlikely. It's more likely that someone hacked the funds back on behalf of the US government, or that the US government itself compromised the addresses."
