UK Ex-Cop Must Repay £1.8M After Stealing Dark Web-Related Bitcoin
A former National Crime Agency officer has been ordered to repay over £1.8 million after he stole 50 Bitcoins during an investigation into dark web drug dealing, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
The officer, who was not named in the report, had access to sensitive information and resources as part of his job, but used them for personal gain instead.
The stolen Bitcoins are valued at around $2.7 million, a significant amount considering the current cryptocurrency market.
