That's a good point. WTF.

    These bitcoins were forfeited not because they are bitcoins, but because they were, as the court found, the proceeds of crimes.”

If those are Ulbricht's coins, then that the auction should come after his conviction.

Maybe they should wait until after the trial, then consider the bitcoin as punishment enough.
