On the evening of June 20, some Arkham users reported that they received an alert about the movement of funds in accounts related to the Silk Road case. Some members of the community are talking about fake, as there have been similar cases in the past.
According to the CEO and co-founder of Cryptoquant, Ki Young Ju, the addresses beginning with “bc1qzd8,” from which the BTC was allegedly transferred, correspond to the accounts of the exchanges. Also, this address is not on the list of wallets that Arkham has confirmed linked to the Silk Road case. Perhaps the confusion arose due to incorrect settings of the notification system.
In April 2022, James Zhong sent 0.00000547 BTC to the account in question. Later, his wallets were transferred to the control of the federal authorities. But this does not mean that the wallet belonged to him. It is possible that this is an exchange wallet. In particular, it could be a Coinbase account. It is this platform that processes the bitcoin transactions of the US Department of Justice.
