Unbelievable! Swedish government forced to return $ 1.5 million in Bitcoin to a drug dealer

This happens because is a difference in value from the day the trader was prosecuted while in prison. Unbelievable but true!

After increasing its value while in custody, the Swedish government was forced to return more than $ 1.5 million in Bitcoin to a drug dealer.

Sweden August 22, 2021.

According to a poll on Friday by The Telegraph, authorities in Sweden seized 36 BTCs from a drug dealer, worth just under $ 150,000 at the time of his prosecution two years ago.

By the time the Swedish law enforcement authority came to auction Bitcoin, its value had been estimated to the extent that only three BTCs had to be sold to compensate for the original value.

Authorities must now return the remaining 33 Bitcoin to the drug dealer, which Tove Kullberg's prosecutor described as an "unfortunate incident."

"The lesson we need to learn from this story is that we need to maintain the value of the confiscated crypto assets in Bitcoin so that whatever profit is in favor of the criminal, it should be 36 Bitcoin, regardless of the value of the "every currency at that time," Kullberg said.

The year 2021 is full of news and events that surprise us with the incredible speed we see every time!
