One question related to those funds is if some of them might belong to people who committed no crimes (or at least have not been convicted of them). I'm have little doubt (in fact, I pretty much know for sure) that there's precedent for the cops just keeping the whole lot but still.

That is something that bothers me, hypothetically.

There is a minority of international SR users that never purchased or sold anything illegal. They happened to have some coins there, maybe with the intent of wrongdoing - but SR closed in their face before they did any. Or maybe they were just using SR as an online wallet. These are not US citizens. What gives the US government any right to steal their coins?
