According to Cointelegraph, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) recently seized multiple assets from a Queensland man, including nearly 25 bitcoins, a waterfront mansion, and a Mercedes-Benz car, with a total value of approximately $2.9 million. The AFP stated that these assets may be related to a 2013 theft of 950 bitcoins from a French cryptocurrency exchange. The man had previously been convicted of cybercrime, including selling League of Legends player data. Although no criminal charges have been filed for the bitcoin theft, the court has ordered the assets to be confiscated, with proceeds to be used for crime prevention and law enforcement measures.
