Cops seize drug dealer’s digital hoard in NZ first

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Forget the flash motorbikes and bling - a digital image of a chimp like creature with a techni-colour runny nose is among the booty crims were hoarding their cash in before police confiscated it in a New Zealand first.

The strange image was seized in Waikato and was part of item 590 on the 1171-strong list of criminal assets seized by police in the last two years - non-fungible tokens, or NFTs valued at $275, 461.

Poll: What do you think of the wastewater-linked development restrictions?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Developers are questioning whether they want to invest in Hamilton as they let rip at councillors over wastewater related planning brakes that have kyboshed at least 750 projects worth tens of millions.

Matt Stark, who was behind the $25m-$30million MADE market project in Hamilton East told councillors it was intended to be a catalyst for growth but the halt on new builds due to over capacity pipes had stifled that expected flow-on.
