500 BTC linked to Irish drug dealer moved after 10-year dormancy

A wallet containing 500 BTC linked to Irish drug dealer Dubliner Clifton Collins has been activated after about 10 years of dormancy, with the funds transferred to another address, Bitcoin News reported on its official X account. Collins accumulated 6,000 BTC across 12 addresses from profits earned by growing and selling marijuana between 2011 and 2012. The funds were believed to have been confiscated by a court following his arrest in 2017. Bitcoin News added that the movement of the 500 BTC suggests that not all of Collins' original holdings may have been lost.
