I wonder if claims like this ever go anywhere.

At least a couple blokes sent token amounts, as they state:

> Individuals will often send minimal amounts of Bitcoin to these addresses for unknown reasons. For example, on November 3, 2020, 1HQ3 received 0.00010999 bitcoin (approximately $1.51) from an unknown individual.

I think some people who lost money when Payza/Alertpay got seized were given a very nicely worded letter saying who to contact for their seized funds, but those calls/emails/etc never went anywhere. Almost made it sound like you could get your money back.

Here's that claim notice page: https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/victim-witness-assistance/ob...

and one case of a guy trying to get his money back for years: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/7p6v3w/funds_s...
