In connection with his guilty plea, Force also admitted that, although he did not receive permission from the DEA to do so, he served as the chief compliance officer for CoinMKT, a digital currency exchange company. In this role, in February 2014, Force was alerted by CoinMKT to what the company initially believed to be suspicious activity in a particular account. Force admitted that, thereafter, in his capacity as a DEA agent, but without authority or a legal basis to do so, he directed CoinMKT to freeze $337,000 in cash and digital currency from the account. Force further admitted that he subsequently transferred approximately $300,000 of the digital currency into a personal account that he controlled.

I never heard of the case but assumed just by the title that he was a whistle blower if DOJ bothered to prosecute him. I guess it's possible he's just a normal criminal with no political juice and they wanted to seize the funds for the Christmas party account.
