A convicted drug dealer gets back 33 of seized 36 BTC from the Swedish state. This has been ruled by a court today. The reason behind this is the conversion of the coins at the moment of seizure. During all the court hearings the discussions has been about $130k in drug money, the value of the 36 BTC on day of seizure. The court ruled that the thug gets the $130k removed. Until the government start to auction the BTC the price soared and the auction made significantly more than $130k.
Now a court ruled, the difference of the $130k of the first court decision and the auction has to be paid back to the thug. The guy asked to get it back in BTC. So he will returned 33 of the seized 36 BTC.
Conclusion for Swedish prosecutors is now not to convert the value of crypto to a day x and keep the amount fixed during all court hearings.
The thug can dream in jail how much his BTC is worth when he gets released.
