This has nothing to do with the man accused of being DPR. This is like the police showing up to a drug deal and both the buyer and supplier scattering and miraculously getting away. The police then take the coccaine and cash onto a giant podium and ask "This belong to anyone? No? We're going to claim it if no one does." Now it is legitimately government property.

Except for that people are claiming ownership of some of the SR funds. There was an article posted here recently about a guy in the UK trying to recover his Silk Road funds.
Not according to the order of forfeiture. "WHEREAS, no claims or answers have been filed in this judicial forfeiture as to Silk Road Hidden Website and the Silk Road Server Bitcoins"

UK guy gave his bitcoins to the Silk Road, but no one is claiming ownership of the Silk Road wallet.
