A Texas federal court judge ordered Frank Richard Ahlgren III and any associates to hand over any crypto public and private keys, accounts and access codes.
An early Texan Bitcoin investor has been ordered to surrender his crypto and other wallet private keys and access codes as part of a restraining order after being sentenced in December to two years in prison for tax fraud.
Frank Richard Ahlgren III, who falsely underreported capital gains on over $3.7 million in Bitcoin (BTC) sales between 2017 and 2019, owes the US government around $1.1 million in restitution.
Austin Federal Court Judge Robert Pitman on Jan. 6 ordered Ahlgren, along with any of his family, friends or representatives, to identify and provide any physical devices used to store his cryptocurrency, along with any public keys, private keys, seed phrases or passphrases.
