The U.S. Department of Justice appears to have encountered issues in handling seized assets. According to Executive Order No. 14233, the confiscated Bitcoin should be stored in the U.S. strategic reserve, but the relevant agencies have sold the BTC paid to Samourai developers. This practice directly conflicts with the explicit provisions of the executive order. If true, this could indicate that government agencies have deviated from the established policy direction at the implementation level, raising questions about the transparency of BTC reserve management and the consistency of policy enforcement.

Coming back with this again? The government issues one order with the left hand and takes an action with the right hand, and BTC is simply being sold off.

Wait a minute, is the government secretly making moves again? They verbally talk about storage readiness, then turn around and dump assets. I've seen this trick too many times.

Is this coming again? The government says to hoard BTC, then turns around and sells it. I really don't understand this move.
---
Wait, can the coins from Samourai also be moved? What are they doing?
---
Executive orders are just for show, anyway no one supervises.
---
That's really incredible, claiming strategic reserves while actually cutting losses...
---
When asked, it's just "execution deviation." The US Department of Justice's move here is hilarious.
---
Transparency? What are they thinking, the government never lacks reasons.
---
So the BTC reserve plan is just going to be messed around like this?
---
They promised to hold, but ended up secretly selling. That’s a slap in the face.
---
Interesting, how much is an executive order really worth?

Wait, did they sell secretly? Isn't that a slap in the face to the administrative order?
---
Here we go again, claiming reserves while actually shipping out, tired of this routine
---
Selling off samourai tokens? The government is just giving a gift to the exchanges
---
Didn't they say they were storing strategic reserves? Why are they gone? Where's the transparency, friends?
---
Laughing to death, regulations are treated like child's play, just sell when you want
---
Government departments operate like this, how can people trust the BTC reserve plan?
---
So where did all the money go... Good question
---
Execution and regulations are two different things, really a bit outrageous
---
Government: The reserves we mentioned are actually "dynamic reserves"
---
Looks like BTC reserves are unreliable too
---
Dare to operate so blatantly while directly violating orders?

Are you playing word games again? The government says they are storing it while secretly selling, a classic case of the left hand fighting the right hand.
---
This is outrageous... How come the written orders can't be enforced?
---
That's incredible. The administrative order is as good as not issued. Whether to sell or not, why are they so stubborn?
---
I knew the government wouldn't follow the usual rules when I saw Samourai's BTC being cashed out. Sure enough.
---
So the question is, who is deceiving whom? Or does no one even read the orders?
---
Policy and execution are disconnected. One side wants to fight, the other is willing to endure. Let's just watch as the retail investors enjoy the show.
---
Transparency? Haha, don't make me laugh. Is the government's work called transparency?
---
It's hard to hold together. Orders are just for show, BTC is just an ATM.

lol they really sold it huh? reading between the lines here... classic institutional flow pattern, government's doing the opposite of what they said they'd do. checks notes on executive order 14233 🤔 not surprised tbh, smart money always moves different than the memo

ngl this is giving "watch your position" vibes... they're supposed to HODL but they're selling? that's literally the opposite of the play. remind me never to trust execution when policy looks clean on paper lol, been there lost that with margin calls before... probably why they never teach you how to read between the lines in finance class

Here we go again? The government is saving reserves with one hand and selling them off with the other—this script is just too bad.

Here we go again, the government's usual trick... Promised reserves, and then they sell them off? Isn't this just the left hand controlling the right hand?

Playing this game again? The promised reserve coins are sold off immediately after transfer. The government's move is really impressive.
