Which explains why it wasn't all recovered as well. Occam's razor strikes again.

Is this the Adi Shamir? Interesting insight from one of the co-creators of RSA.

The affidavit the FBI filed makes a pretty strong case that they were the same person. It seems likely the multiple DPR idea was an attempt to cover tracks.

The paper that was refuted claimed DPR was linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, this paper traces the path of the bitcoins seized by the FBI and provides an estimate of how many bitcoin remain in DPR's possession.

This appears to be unrelated. The previous paper was trying to link Satoshi and DPR. This just talks about how DPR used wallets, and makes the case that the FBI didn't seize everything.

It looks like they kept the name of the paper and some of the content the same.
