As with all things in America, it's only illegal if a normal person does it.
If you're rich or politically connected (or are the actual government), anything goes.
In what way is this money laundering? Isn't it normal for the government to liquidate seized assets?
They’re not obfuscating the trail. Just plain old theft.
Time to see what a 1.9b sell off looks like.
Will you buy the dip? It'll be a nice opportunity.
I mean... how likely is it that the wallet just was stolen from the government. Unless there is a statement, I'd rather attribute this to incompetence than malignancy.
