    Remember the crucial lesson: it’s only theft if you’re not in power.

      They didn’t - majority of that gain isn’t from pirating but from bitcoin price appreciation.

      This is really shit authoritarian action from the german government - price appreciation isn’t an illegal source of funds

    According to the police report, the defendant agreed to voluntarily hand over the cryptocurrency.

    Good joke

      There is no “less bitcoin”. They’re just going to sell it.
