Sr1 and Bitcoin

I've been following the case of dread Pirate. The btc in the sr1 wallet where confiscated by the US government. Does the guy still own the rest of his btc or did he surrender them over? From what I remember, he had loads of them. Like 5% of the total available supply at the time

They were all seized IIRC. Also, there was cases against officers who stole some of the BTC seized from him

They got the account wallet and they were auctioned off. I believe a VC in the bay, Draper, purchased them all. Pretty solid returns on that investment.

As far as other wallets he may have hidden? Maybe they are out there or in his mind.

They got them all.

I know the seized wallet was auctioned off. Now his personal one.... If he kept the private in a Secure place.. or did they make him turn it over?

Yes.

He wrote a diary about his activities and kept his passwords in a text file, so I doubt he has anything hidden somewhere.
