Auction house Wilson’s is selling Bitcoins, along with Bitcoin Gold and Cash “coins” seized by Belgian police in a drug case. The auction of the seized coins, 104.99 of each type, will run for 24 hours online, with a physical auction running at the UK-based firm’s Belfast branch for part of that time. Wilson’s said the coins were worth about £300,000 ($390,000). They were seized from criminals selling drugs on the Dark Net. In an interview with CoinDesk, Wilson explained how he came to acquire the coins.
