CryptoRobotics Posted February 17, 2022 #1 Posted February 17, 2022 For the first time in human history, NFTs are confiscated. The UK Internal Revenue Service (HMRC) has confiscated three unique NFT tokens as part of a tax evasion fraud case. The tax authority said the case marked the first time in the UK that NFTs had been confiscated. Three people have also been arrested in the fraud case. The detainees used fake identities to set up 250 shell companies. The estimated damage is $1.8 million. This case is interesting in that NFTs were seized as liquid assets, usually in order to sell them in the future and compensate for losses to the treasury.
Luba74 Posted February 17, 2022 #2 Posted February 17, 2022 But how is it possible? that is, the arrested themselves gave access to the NFT? Or did opensea, at the request of the police, give them this electronic property?
dupeddonk Posted February 17, 2022 #6 Posted February 17, 2022 Pretty crazy humans went 200,000 years without confiscating any NFTs.
v1rtu0s Posted February 20, 2022 #8 Posted February 20, 2022 Ironic thing is, the overwhelming majority of nft's are sold as part of a money laundering scheme
Sampepin86 Posted February 21, 2022 #9 Posted February 21, 2022 nft was probably on a web site wallet and not a private wallet damn
KENDRIK Posted March 9, 2022 #11 Posted March 9, 2022 Omg gosh how can it be like that in the nft world
