UK court orders seizure of $4.30 million worth of bitcoin from crime boss Alexander Surin

A British court has ordered the seizure of about $4.30 million worth of bitcoin by crime kingpin Alexander Surin, also known as Don Car-Leone, after he failed to prove that the crypto assets were obtained through legal means. The decision follows an investigation into Surin's financial transactions, which were linked to his criminal activities. Surin fled to Dubai after being convicted of drug trafficking in France in 2015, after his vast wealth, including luxury cars and property in London, was confiscated by authorities.
