Abstract: The police described the transfer of funds as the “most extensive seizure of Bitcoins by law enforcement in the Federal Republic of Germany.”
Lead Paragraph:
A German programmer who is accused of running an illegal movie streaming site more than a decade ago transferred $2.17 billion worth of Bitcoin to the authorities to repay at least some of the money he had made illegally, the police said on Tuesday. The transfer required the man to use his unique Bitcoin credentials to hand over the funds.
