Ex-NCA officer must repay $2.4M after stealing 50 BTC from seized Silk Road 2.0 funds

Paul Chowles, a former UK National Crime Agency officer, was ordered to repay about $2.4 million after transferring 50 Bitcoin from a seizure linked to a Silk Road 2.0 drug investigation. The 50 BTC were moved in 2017 when they were worth around $80,000, but the repayment reflects their current value. Chowles was arrested in 2022, recovered with 30 BTC, and sentenced to 5½ years for theft and money laundering. This case highlights risks of insider theft in cryptocurrency seizures and ongoing legal efforts to recover stolen digital assets.
