Paul Chowles, a former National Crime Agency officer, has been ordered to repay $2.4 million for 50 BTC he stole during a 2017 seizure related to Silk Road 2.0. While the Bitcoin was valued at approximately $77,000 at the time of the theft, prosecutors have adjusted the repayment amount to reflect its current market value.
