Most of the confiscated money, goes back to the government to buy tools to fight these crimes. I think they will sell those coins and buy law enforcement gear to do the same. ^smile^
Governments have serious problems with Bitcoins and cryptos. Looks like 100,000 less Bitcoins

$1,000,000,000 is not a big deal for richest terrorist organisation ever, that is ISIS/ISIL who have taken over some 5 countries.

$1,000,000,000 stolen or untraced can fund a WAR.
Not for long... Bitcoin $1 to $20,000 in 9 years got $350,000,000,000 I say atleast $25 billion is highly risky/criminal/very dangerous when Islamic terrorists are running free in more than 20 countries.

It is incredible how the economy knowledge has been so distorted to the point we have to endure this, money was first created to facilitate the transactions between people, that is all, if gold was chosen over many cultures was not because it had some inherent value it was because it was the best tool for the job, but economists are making it seem as if bitcoin is bad simply because it has no backing, as long as bitcoin has all the right characteristics for the job then it is not a scam and it will be used by people as money because is the best currency currently available.
What is Bitcoin 800% profit every month for 9 years ??

very dangerous if used as a transaction tool just imagine someone buying a car for 10k USD using BTC suddenly the price of BTC next day fell by 20%, thus the seller could have lost 20% Gold and Silver as payments will be better.

A bit over 20 years now. Don't remember the exact time I got internet for the first time, but it was slower than 56 kbit/s and sounded like an alien civilization trying to make contact during dial-up.

Professionals recommend using projects that offer a low level of profit - about 3%.
3% profit every month would be HYIP/ponzi. Bitcoin has gone up 100,000% in 9 years. That is 800% profit every month
