Reply to comment by yourwifes3rdboyfrend in TIL: That in 2019, some criminals were caught and 36 BTC was confiscated. The authorities valued the worth at €127,000 at the time and was sold 2 years later for €1.5 million. The criminals were returned €1.3 million due to the fact that the amount was expressed in Swedish Krona, not BTC by Wendals87

If you get convicted of something the government can definitely sieze your crypto. It's not like they can pull you over and find a pile of bitcoins in your trunk though.
