A Bitcoin Core developer meeting has come under the FBI’s scrutiny. Mike Schmidt, Director at Brink—a charitable organization that funds open-source developers—has revealed in an email to attendees of the CoreDev Atlanta 2022 that the FBI issued a subpoena demanding information on those who were part of the October 2022 gathering. This subpoena is linked to the investigation into the theft of Bitcoin Core developer Luke Dashjr’s Bitcoins, a sum that Dashjr claims amounted to approximately $3.6 million.
The email sent by Schmidt reads: “Notice regarding the Atlanta 2022 CoreDev event. All, As part of the investigation into Luke Dashjr’s announced theft of his bitcoins, I received a subpoena from the FBI wanting information about attendees […] I was legally advised to cooperate.” This subpoena, Schmidt explains, followed a legal obligation to not disclose its existence for a period of one year, a condition that has just reached its expiration.
