Reply to comment by NorthernerWuwu 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

Yep. Had this seizure happened in 2020, and then the sale happened today, this case would be reversed with the criminals owing way more than the bitcoin was sold for.
