UK Police Force Gets $665K Bitcoin Windfall From Seizures

British cops just hit the crypto jackpot—$665,000 in seized Bitcoin now lines their pockets. Who said crime doesn’t pay?

From Dark Web to Piggy Bank

Forget bake sales—the UK’s latest police fundraiser involved confiscating digital assets from criminals. The haul? A cool $665K in Bitcoin. Proving even law enforcement can’t resist a bull market.

Taxpayers Rejoice (Maybe)

The windfall’s headed straight to public coffers—assuming it doesn’t get ‘reallocated’ for a few armored Teslas first. After all, nothing says ‘protect and serve’ like a 0-60mph in 2.3 seconds.

The Irony’s Thicker Than a Bank Vault

While regulators keep warning about crypto’s ‘risks,’ police departments worldwide are quietly becoming HODLers. Guess they missed the memo about volatility—or spotted the upside of unconfiscatable assets.

One thing’s clear: When your evidence locker outperforms pension funds, maybe it’s time to rethink financial strategy. Just don’t expect the SEC to approve ‘Bitcoin Bond’ ETFs anytime soon.
