In the first-ever case of its kind, a British judge has ordered confiscation of Bitcoins worth $1 million from a jailed hacker.

I'm glad we have this kind of news, these hackers are one of the reasons why Cryptocurrency is not moving forward, every time there are hacking the price of Bitcoin plummet, this guy should be sentenced for long years.

The prosecuting counsel noted that a further hearing would be required to determine the difference between the amount sanctioned and the left-over of his ‘client’s assets.

I think all his assets should be confiscated because he got these from stealing from other people, known and unknown.
Hopefully, many more hackers will be caught and prosecuted.
