🟠The Australian Federal Police just froze a $2.88M waterfront mansion, a Mercedes, and 25 $BTC tied to a 2013 crypto #exchange exploit. The alleged owner? A hacker already convicted for selling gamer data from League of Legends.
🟠While no charges have been filed over the stolen 950 #BTC , the AFP used special powers to seize the assets — claiming they couldn’t be linked to any legit income. Investigators say the crypto was moved through suspicious transactions and likely stems from a French exchange breach.
🟠The confiscated property belonged to Shane Stephen Duffy, previously convicted for selling hacked data. He also once hijacked the X account of Riot Games’ president to promote his black-market biz.
🟠The AFP stressed that proceeds from seizures like this go into a national fund for crime prevention — and with over $1.2B in total confiscations since 2019, it’s clear: in Australia, dirty crypto buys you a house… until it doesn’t.
🦘 Bitcoin might not be anonymous, but Australian law sure is aggressive. Keep your bags clean — or they might just get seized with the Benz.
