Tomáš Jiřikovský, the convicted operator of an illegal marketplace, transferred more than 1,000 bitcoins to various wallets on the afternoon of March 6, 2025.

The transfer took place shortly before 1:30 p.m., one day before he moved another 468 bitcoins from his wallets. Those 468 bitcoins were valued at nearly 1 billion Czech korunas, while the earlier transfers were worth 2.2 billion korunas.

Police had been unable to access the wallets because they did not have the passwords. A court decision returned the computers containing the wallets to Jiřikovský, who then prepared for what the account describes as his “big day.”
