Reply to comment by Pope_Cerebus 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
Your 2nd paragraph is correct, but the 1st paragraph doesn't explain it properly. The gold in your example didn't increase in value, and the authorities simply confiscated too much. In reality, the correct amount was confiscated, but the increase in value wasn't taken into consideration, because of how the value was expressed.

This is all true, just wasn't expressed in the previous 1st paragraph.
