Reply to comment by Pope_Cerebus 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

The victims involuntarily had their money invested in bitcoin, they could argue that in this sense they should have the equivalent share of the ROI.

That's ridiculous. If they had spent it on coke and hookers it would also be fair game then to split the fiver that remained when justice caught up.
