US Marshals' sale of $6.36M in BTC may violate Trump executive order

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) sold 57.55 BTC, valued at $6.36 million, that was seized from the Bitcoin mixing service Samourai Wallet last November. According to Bitcoin Magazine, the sale may have violated Executive Order 14233, signed by President Donald Trump. The order stipulates that Bitcoin seized through criminal or civil cases should be incorporated into the U.S. strategic reserve instead of being sold.
