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

How on earth did pirates make 3 billion dollars?

Oh I see, Bitcoin from 2010... More like piracy was the seed investment and then the crypto went to the moon

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

Thumbs down for Germany.

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

Good joke

Less bitcoin is good but shame about the site

There is no "less bitcoin". They're just going to sell it.

It'll drop the price, so there's that at least.

Yes it did drop by a couple k but it's already well over the drop since the sell time
