Unclaimed Fortune: Ross Ulbricht’s Forgotten Bitcoin Stash!

Brace yourselves, dear readers, for a tantalizing tale of forgotten digital fortunes and the man once known as the “Dread Pirate Roberts.” A Coinbase bigwig, Conor Grogan, has recently claimed to have identified several wallets, rumored to be associated with the one and only Ross Ulbricht, collectively holding a staggering 430 Bitcoin!

“I found ~430 BTC across dozens of wallets associated with Ross Ulbricht that were not confiscated by the USGovt and have been untouched for 13+ years. Back then these were probably dust wallets, now, collectively, they are worth about $47M,” Grogan declared with a touch of awe.

Now, now, don’t get too excited just yet. Ulbricht, having served his time and been released from the clink on January 21, 2025, might not even have access to these digital safes. And, pray tell, what’s the fuss about these wallets, you ask? Well, let me put it this way: one of them holds a whopping 88.77 BTC, valued at over $9.4 million!

Of course, we mustn’t forget the airdropped assets from the 2017 Bitcoin Cash hard fork, adding a dash of intrigue to this already delightful story. But, alas, Grogan has no intention of sharing the addresses of these mysterious wallets, as they’ve already been tracked by multiple sources.

So, there you have it, folks! A thrilling saga of forgotten Bitcoin fortunes and the man who might have just stumbled upon them. Will Ulbricht reclaim his lost riches? Only time will tell!
