How on earth did pirates make 3 billion dollars?

Oh I see, Bitcoin from 2010... More like piracy was the seed investment and then the crypto went to the moon

They didn't - majority of that gain isn't from pirating but from bitcoin price appreciation.

This is really shit authoritarian action from the german government - price appreciation isn't an illegal source of funds
