A man tied to a crypto project was linked to a huge drug raid in the UK where officials took illegal weight-loss drugs and tools for making them, worth about £250,000 (over $330,000). UK regulators searched a warehouse in Northampton and seized the pills, raw ingredients, equipment and cash during the operation.
Investigators traced the location back to companies connected with the co-founder of a crypto gaming venture, and online sleuths had earlier called that project a scam. The raid highlighted how crypto-linked figures can show up in unexpected criminal cases — though the drug seizure wasn’t directly about cryptocurrency itself.
