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 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. Permalink Parent 5
