Reply to comment by dnap123 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

If you offically charge and prosecute someone with making $2000 worth of profit from drug trafficking and decide that profit must be seized they've already taken $20,000, then they return 18,000 and keep the rest.

This sort of happened here, but they simply undervalued the profits by using krona instead of BTC.

Edit: Euro to BTC
