3.7 million BTC vs 39k wallets, the numbers don't match, Timechain Index directly calls out the inconsistency

BlockBeats reports that on May 1st, New York filed a lawsuit seeking to declare 39,069 long-dormant Bitcoin wallets as belonging to the plaintiff, claiming they are abandoned property and have been reported to the police. The list also includes Satoshi Nakamoto's address. The legal basis is questionable, and even if a ruling is made, it would be difficult to enforce on the Bitcoin network unless the funds are transferred to a regulated escrow service. Timechain Index states that the related addresses hold approximately 3.7 million BTC, far exceeding the plaintiff's claim; it also shows 3.5 million dormant for over 10 years, 6.6 million dormant for over 5 years, and notes that notifications sent to addresses with no balance are flawed.
