Bitcoin Seized from Fishing Rod Case | Bitcoin and Crypto News
Description
Ireland’s authorities just nabbed another massive Bitcoin stash, following up on a similar haul linked to a convicted drug dealer — and this time, the digital fortune was hidden in the most unexpected place: inside a fishing rod case cap. The story traces back to Collins, arrested in 2017 for cannabis possession, who allegedly used drug money to buy 6,000 Bitcoin in 2011-2012. After his arrest, he claimed his landlord stole the case — but the landlord says he never saw it. Now, the Criminal Assets Bureau is quietly investigating, refusing to reveal the wallet’s owner or the wallet’s value — a classic case of crypto becoming the new frontier in law enforcement’s war on illicit wealth.
