A $31 million Bitcoin donation to Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht...
Ross Ulbricht, the former founder of the now-defunct drug trafficking site Silk Road, recently received an anonymous donation of 300 Bitcoins, worth around $31 million, according to reporting from WIRED. Following days of speculation, crypto investigation firm Chainalysis believes the donation came from someone associated with the now-defunct website known as AlphaBay, a platform that the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) previously called "the largest marketplace on the Darknet."
"Chainalysis has reasonable grounds to suspect the funds originated in AlphaBay," a company spokesperson told Fortune.
The news was first reported by WIRED. Chainalysis director of investigations Phil Larratt told that outlet that the number of Bitcoins "suggest they came from someone who was possibly a vendor on AlphaBay back in the early days."
