UK tax watchdog makes first seizure over $2 mn NFT fraud: BBC
The UK's tax watchdog seized three nonfungible tokens as part of a suspected case of value-added tax fraud worth £1.4 million ($1.9 million), the BBC reported. Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs said it was the first time that U.K. law enforcement had seized an NFT, a type of digital asset that can be traded over blockchain networks, according to the report. Three people have been arrested on suspicion of attempting to defraud the authority allegedly using a web of 250 fake companies, the BBC said on Monday, citing HMRC.
