The Swedish government will return over $1.5 million in Bitcoin to a drug dealer, from whom authorities had seized 36 Bitcoins worth around $150,000 two years ago, The Telegraph reported. However, the value of the Bitcoins surged when authorities put them up for auction. The authorities now need to sell three Bitcoins for the original value to be recouped.
