The world’s biggest cryptocurrency seizure could leave each taxpayer more than £1,000 better off by the next Budget, MailOnline can reveal.
Wealthy tycoons are believed to be shaking in their boots at the thought Britain could sell £4.5billion of Bitcoin that police nabbed in a money laundering sting.
Keen-eyed officers from the Metropolitan Police swooped on 42-year-old Chinese takeaway worker Jian Wen’s six-bed Hampstead Heath mansion in 2018 after she splurged tens of thousands on diamonds and luxury homes.
Amazingly, among piles of cash stashed away in the £17,000-a-month rental pad, officers discovered a digital wallet with 61,000 Bitcoin on it – the equivalent of £4.5billion.
It was the largest crypto bust in history.
