The U.S. just seized a mountain of Bitcoin.
Investigators traced the haul to a global crime ring running forced-labor compounds in Cambodia - where victims were forced into hacking and online scams.
The Justice Department now controls 127,000 BTC, its biggest crypto seizure ever. In total, U.S.-linked wallets now hold around 325,000 BTC — worth roughly $36 billion.
That's more Bitcoin than most companies on Earth.
Should governments hold or auction seized crypto?
