He had Bitcoin apps on his device and was trading in gold bullion on his accounts (I think) so would indicate dark money being traded or would had been used.

I have a question on the Bitcoin. If his wallet was on one of the devices confiscated by the police, does he lose access.

Also, can the police get access to a criminal's Bitcoin account so the money can be confiscated under the proceeds of crime?

It was an obsolete calibre Schmidt-Rubin Model 1889. The 'firearm expert' incorrectly stated it was a licensable firearm (you would think he'd know).. They used that information to get the suspect remanded.

Weren't there two? When they were laying the guns out there seemed to be the obsolete calibre one and a more modern rifle in a padded case?

There's nothing to stop there being multiple copies of a wallet so not necessarily. Only if he gives up the password.

Looks modern but it's just been put in a new stock, chambers a super old 7.5x53.5mm way back from 1889 hence the section 58(2) status.
Saying that I could swear I saw a wooden stocked Ruger 10/22 on the video....
