Reply to comment by coriolisFX 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

Yeah, in that case there is literally no way of taking control of the Bitcoin. BTC is based on cryptography that would take the fastest computers about 40,000 years to break into a single wallet.

Imagine if scientists were like this... "I had this awesome discovery, but I won't tell anyone even the first thing about it, go study the topic yourself". Science and progress are about sharing, on the micro and macro scales.
