曾經和未來的大亨？

在獲得川普總統的全面赦免後，絲綢之路暗網市場的創始人羅斯·烏布利希獲得了自由。但他能收回美國政府扣押並出售的價值 1.84 億美元的比特幣嗎？

The U.S. Marshals Service has begun the process of selling over 144,000 bitcoins that were once owned by Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the now-defunct darknet marketplace Silk Road.

美國法警局已開始出售超過 144,000 枚比特幣，這些比特幣曾由現已解散的暗網市場 Silk Road 的創始人 Ross Ulbricht 擁有。

The bitcoins, which were seized by the FBI at the time of Ulbricht's 2013 arrest, are being sold off in accordance with a court order that stipulated that the proceeds from the sale be used to pay outstanding victim restitution and other legal costs.

這些比特幣是 FBI 在 2013 年 Ulbricht 被捕時扣押的，目前正在根據法院命令進行出售，該命令規定出售所得收益將用於支付未償還的受害者賠償和其他法律費用。

According to a notice posted by the Marshals Service, the bitcoins will be sold in seven separate lots, each ranging from 1,812 to 20,000 bitcoins. Interested parties will be able to submit sealed bids for each lot until March 10, 2024, at which point the highest bidders will be notified and given the opportunity to finalize their purchases.

根據法警局發布的通知，這些比特幣將分七批出售，每批從 1,812 到 20,000 枚比特幣不等。有興趣的各方將能夠在 2024 年 3 月 10 日之前對每批拍品提交密封投標，屆時出價最高者將收到通知，並有機會完成購買。

The sale of the bitcoins, which were valued at around $48 million at the time of their seizure but are now worth over $1.4 billion, is expected to generate a significant amount of interest from both institutional and retail investors.

這些比特幣在被扣押時價值約 4800 萬美元，但現在價值超過 14 億美元，預計將引起機構和散戶投資者的極大興趣。

The auction also marks the latest chapter in the legal saga surrounding Ulbricht and Silk Road, which played a pivotal role in the early development of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

此次拍賣也標誌著圍繞烏布利希和絲綢之路的法律傳奇的最新篇章，該傳奇在加密貨幣生態系統的早期發展中發揮了關鍵作用。

After being found guilty of drug trafficking and money laundering charges in 2015, Ulbricht was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole—a sentence that sparked outrage among many within the crypto community and prompted an ongoing campaign for his release.

2015 年，烏布利希被判犯有販毒和洗錢罪，並被判處終身監禁，不得假釋，這一判決引發了加密貨幣界許多人的憤怒，並引發了一場持續不斷的釋放他的運動。

In 2023, following years of legal challenges and appeals, Ulbricht was granted a full pardon by former President Donald Trump, bringing an end to his criminal sentence and restoring his civil rights.

經過多年的法律挑戰和上訴，烏布利希於 2023 年獲得前總統唐納德·川普的全面赦免，結束了他的刑事判決並恢復了他的公民權利。

However, despite the pardon, the bitcoins that were seized by the FBI at the time of his arrest remained subject to forfeiture proceedings, setting the stage for their upcoming sale by the U.S. Marshals Service.

然而，儘管獲得了赦免，聯邦調查局在他被捕時扣押的比特幣仍然受到沒收程序的影響，這為美國法警局即將出售這些比特幣奠定了基礎。
