None of this would matter if the government didn't touch seized assets until the legal process is over.
This is especially easy to do with digital coins (vs. say a room full of furniture which could incur not-so-insignificant storage costs.)
- maverwa 5y agoAs far as I understand the article, thats should not matter in this case. They did not "touch" the coins to cause this problem. They just recorded their value in SEK instead the raw number of BTC so when the process was over, they had to pay back the difference between what they sized originally (36 BTC, 1.3mio SEK a few years/months ago) and what they wrote down in their records (1.3 mio SEK or ~3 BTC nowadays). The same might happen for every other "foregin" currency, right?
