๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Important update about Bitcoin! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
A person living in London with $2.5 billion worth of Bitcoin is being accused of not paying taxes. Jian Wen, who is from China and lives in North London, tried to buy expensive houses in London in 2017 but had trouble with taxes. Instead, in 2019, she bought expensive jewelry in Zurich and luxury houses in Dubai. After a long investigation by the Metropolitan Police, they seized a Bitcoin stash initially worth $2.52 billion, now estimated at around $4.28 billion. This is the biggest seizure of Bitcoin in the UK. The Crown Prosecution Service has gotten a court order to freeze the Bitcoin, which could mean it will be taken away. Inspector Jason Prins said, "This decision and the five-year investigation show that we are serious about going after criminals who try to make money from illegal things, no matter how hard the case is."
