Could you explain the $237 million in BTC, please? Had it been in possession of Rodriguez & Hill and they gave it to US? Or the amount is yet to be collected (how)?

The numbers are irrelevant. Probably AI hallucinated them. The key insight is that bitcoiners shouldn't be naive. We're on a new level now - a real threat to the powers that be.

I agree that the most important is the message not to be naive. Very good article, thanks.

The number is not hallucinated: "an order to forfeit $237,832,360.55" - https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/founders-samourai-wallet-cryptocurrency-mixing-service-sentenced-five-and-four-years. Let us know if you know how they intend to collect it.
