Reply to comment by xsvfan 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

Because it was valued for 127k. It just happened to sell for more.

This law wasn't exactly made with things that fluctuates in value as rapidly as bitcoin is.
