I believe every wallet is publicly traceable with an anonymous id number. So you don't know who's wallet it is but all the details in the wallet are known. Once you cash a Bitcoin on a public exchange you need to give the exchange a valid ID and SSN. That's how they took down the largest child porn website on the dark web.
because the government/CIA owns those accounts you fucks. lmao
The FBI has seized several bitcoin accounts of arrested people.
Other explanation could be that someone recovered old hard drive or remembered old encryption key or found a lost key or something.
Could be someone who just got out of prison after long prison sentence and had the money stashed in bitcoin so government could not seize it.
Simple: HODL
I if I remember my password, I'd wake up too. I had at least two bitcoin just after they stopped giving physical coins.
One good thing about cash, is my transaction isn't recorded on ledger like this.
Can anyone explain to me how they know that much bitcoin belongs to one wallet? What information does the public bitcoin ledger contain?

They took wallets over stupid things too. It's the money they care about, not the deed. We know they don't care about children.
There is a statute of limitations on tax records and audits.
