Reply to comment by mike9132 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

I mean if all they were sentenced to was to pay a 100k fine and they also had other assets, then better to just comply with the court order and hand over the coin private key and go on with your life, rather than refuse, get thrown in jail or your house seized and sold for the debt?
