I'm no blockchain forensics...icist, but coins were moved from let's say one main Silk Road wallet to many other people's wallets legitimately, or as legit as a illicit drug transaction can be. Silk Road wallet A transfers coins to rando person's wallet B. Also, wallet A occasionally transfers to wallet F which he owns. Who's to say which wallets he controls?

One of the possible ways Ulbricht got caught was a single Google Captcha that showed his IP address (San Francisco, go figure). So he covered his tracks pretty well.

Coins that have a short connection to silk road transactions and have sat still for the last 12 years.

This would likely be hundreds or thousands of bitcoin, as they were worth ~$50 when he was jailed.
