Reply to comment by dasoomer in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87

Whereas in America, you can steal 50000 Bitcoin in 2012 (from a guy now in prison for life for subverting big pharma), and then the feds bust you with headlines claiming you stole billions ("we wanted to steal that money!").
