U.S. Marshals Service is auctioning 2,719 bitcoins seized in 9 high-profile cases. At current exchange rates, those bitcoins would be worth $1.6 million. Would-be bidders must submit a single, signed bid on Aug. 22, between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., then have until Aug. 23 to wire-transfer the funds in full. This is the fifth bitcoin auction to be held by the Marshals.”]
