After the big news of both Overstock and the NBA team, Sacramento Kings, adopting bitcoins, the Fed may be trying to curtail the recent growth in the market. The mere threat of dropping $25mil worth of bitcoin on the exchanges could push the market to new lows, let alone if they actually do…

Forbes just reported that the FBI is no longer interested in holding the 29,655 bitcoins.

 It’s likely that the U.S. Marshals will instead auction off the Bitcoins as if they were Bernie Madoff’s penthouse or a drug dealer’s cars.

The proceeds will go to the U.S. Treasury.
