According to Cointelegraph from Foresight News, the UK Royal Prosecution Service stated that Paul Chowles, a former operations officer of the National Crime Agency (NCA), was sentenced to prison for stealing 50 bitcoins (currently worth approximately $5.9 million) during the Silk Road 2.0 investigation. When the NCA arrested the founder Thomas White in November 2014, they seized 97 bitcoins, but 50 bitcoins (worth about $79,000 at the time) were transferred to another address from his wallet in May 2017. "We found several notebooks in Paul Chowles' office containing usernames, passwords, and transaction records related to Thomas White's cryptocurrency accounts."
