UK seized new powers starting today [including destroying Monero]
–Police will no longer be required to make an arrest before seizing crypto from a suspect.
–seize anything, such as written passwords, flash drives, or memory sticks
–destroy crypto assets, such as privacy coins, for the “public good”, like Monero
–goes into effect today
This has the text copy-pasted from the official UK website, but without having to have your IP address literally connect to the official cybercrime division website, (ironically, we seized their text)
