Title: Forfeiture Action
Post by: CARIBBEAN_TREASURES on November 08, 2022, 04:05:11 PM
Kinda want to get one. Has a crazy back story associated with it. Those are the best converstion pieces. Reminds me of the NORFED pieces that were hallmarked after being returned.

Thanks Mbitr! I didn't know they took physical coins during the raid until recently.

Interesting they said whether they seized them or were willingly sent for each batch

Apologies- missed this post - doh

Do they know how to redeem them ?
So many questions?? :)

No idea, but I'm sure they know what they are doing...

The thing that is odd to me is they said "25 Cas coins" worth like 174 BTC, but this pic appears to show 6 x 25 BTC coins, plus 2 more singles and halves, plus whatever is in that roll...

I think they are confused on the numbers or something there... but then again, i can't really see the pics that well... :P
