$1 Billion Bitcoin Seized: “Modern-Day Robin Hood” Responsible?

Last week, $1 billion of bitcoin was seized by the DOJ, money that a hacker allegedly stole from the Silk Road in 2012.
 
The hacker's lawyer calls him a "modern-day Robin Hood".
But a couple of things to keep in mind:
1) The Hacker was most likely coerced to hand over the keys under heavy duress
2) The money was given to the DOJ so that they can continue their war on p̶e̶o̶p̶l̶e̶ drugs, sending non-violent people to jail. Possibly the least noble use of the money I can think of.

And I still have a LOT of questions about what actually took place.
