While the article doesn't clearly say this, my interpretation is that she was in procession of Bitcoins worth that amount at the time of her arrest, but she didn't "own" that money. That money probably belongs to others.
If she made £2 billion herself, she would surely be amongst the richest criminals in the world (prior to her arrest). For comparative purposes, El Chapo's net worth has been estimated as being anywhere between $1 billion to $12 billion.
- Rastonbury 3y agoI think the richest criminals are an order or two magnitude larger than that. Wachovia and Nauru banks fined for laundering tens of billions, recently 2B of laundered assets seized in Singapore but belonged to a gang of people. Still 2B on a single person is pretty crazy, she claimed they money was from bitcoin mining, seems pretty unsophisticated
