Thoughts were that the amount was about 500,000 bitcoins, estimated worth around $5,000,000 at the time. But these amounts were soon quashed once unofficial forum investigators realised a large hoard of Bitcoin found in their analysis did not belong to Pirate, but belonged to a blackmarket website in which Pirate used to mix his funds to hide the actual amounts he held/stolen.
