Reply to comment by dasoomer 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

You actually meant "despite not being charged". In America large amounts of cash can be seized and kept by the police without every charging you with a crime. It is then on the owner to price the cash was legally acquired.
