Did we do some of that?

So actually, I wasn't aware that the Colonial Pipeline ransomware had kind of a happy ending and some of the funds were recovered.

But I did see a story.

I think this was back in October of 2015.

Dave and I talked about it on a bankless show.

This was FBI, DOJ successfully seized $15 billion in Bitcoin from a massive international pig butchering ring.

That was the very famous...

Chen Zai, pig butchering ring, I believe.

And somehow, mysteriously, assets were recovered.

127,000 Bitcoin was recovered.

$15 billion.

That's got to be one of the largest asset seizures by the DOJ and FBI in history.

And it's like mysterious as to how they actually recovered those funds.

I saw blockchain forensic analysts being like, huh.

This is weird.

It's almost like they somehow got their hands on the private keys.

I wonder how they did that.

Do you know anything about this?

When you say massive, you're talking about thousands of employees, almost in like call center, data center, thousands of structures.

I love that.
