On Loaded’s профили on the BitcoinTalk forum, he signed a message proving that he owned the bitcoin wallet “1Bqc…” which has seen 80,000 bitcoin move through it in its history. It’s the same wallet that was highlighted in the DoJ’s Саопштење.

Separately, Loaded once tried to make a bet with Bitcoin Cash proponent Roger Ver. In March 2017, he потписан a message from a different wallet that contained 40,000 bitcoin. Following the path of this 40,000 bitcoin back in time, when you get to September 2012, it passes through another новчаник highlighted in the DoJ release.

Вер изгледало је to want to make the bet at the time, but the wager never happened, he said.

“No. As I recall, he never replied to my DMs at the time,” Ver told The Block.
