Federal government got clearance from a judge in Utah to sell a few hundreds Bitcoin (513 BTC, to be precise) along with a similar amount of BCH, according to this story. At the current market price, this would be a $8.7 million sale.
What struck me, though, in that news, was the fact that US government claimed it spent more than $400/month to "store the two cryptocurrencies".
Pardon me?
Why do you need to spend over $400/month to keep a few hundreds BTC?
The only plausible scenario is that they put them in a government wallet, dumped the private key for that wallet, wrote it down on a piece of paper, then stored that piece of paper in a bank vault.
Which is unapologetically funny, if it's true.
