C4C | 1-29-25 AM: Seized Bitcoin in the UK

The United Kingdom has confiscated £5 billion worth of Bitcoin from organized criminals, marking the largest seizure of its kind in the country. This substantial amount could potentially be utilized to mitigate the UK's £22 billion public finance deficit. The assets were recovered under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, which allows the government to reclaim assets obtained through illegal activities.
