FBI ready to put Woodberry’s 152 bitcoins on sale, urges interested persons to file claim in 30 days

 A document filed on July 7, 2023 at the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Illinois regarding Mr Woodberry’s forfeiture order reveals that the U.S. Marshal Service will now take over seized crypto assets for disposition.

This follows Woodberry’s agreement to forfeit all proceeds of the wire fra¥d, which he committed using the name ‘Mark Kain’, by recruiting at least 4 money m¥les while he resided in Dubai, UAE.

He was arrested by law enforcement officers in Dubai & later handed over to the FBI in 2020. He was promptly transferred to Chicago, where he has been on trial.

The federal authorities called on interested persons to file a claim for the property within 30 days and register with valid documents, saying they would “provide written notice to any person known to have alleged an interest in the property that is the subject of the preliminary order of forfeiture.”
