NFTs: UK tax watchdog makes first seizure in crypto criminal crackdown – The National
The UK's tax watchdog has made its first seizure of crypto non-fungible tokens (NFTs), in a crackdown on suspected criminal activity to hide money.
The HMRC seized three NFTs after investigating an attempt to defraud the public purse of £1.4m ($1.9m).
Three people were arrested on suspicion of attempting to defraud the authority, allegedly using a web of 250 fake companies.
