Bitfinex-seized government BTC movements raise selling-risk questions

Reports variously identify 9,261 BTC routed toward Coinbase Prime and 12,267 BTC moved to a new unlabeled wallet from funds linked to the 2016 Bitfinex hack. The reports may describe overlapping or separate transfers, and neither destination confirms liquidation; follow-on wallet activity or an official DOJ explanation is still needed.
