The authorities apparently got tired of asking and just went in themselves.

Canada-based Windscribe, a VPN provider, just said that one of its European servers has been allegedly seized by Dutch authorities without a warrant. According to the company’s post on X, law enforcement said that they will return it to the service provider after they “fully analyze it.” It’s unclear why law enforcement impounded just a single rack from Windscribe’s cabinet, but the VPN provider said that it only uses RAM disk servers, meaning anyone who would look through the installed SSDs would only find a stock Ubuntu install on it, so the servers shouldn’t hold any trackable data.

    The thief just want to set up their own gaming server; issue is that it’s too expensive to purchase, so it’s easier to steal it.

          What’s the point lol? Switzerland is expensive to live. Keep your assets in Switzerland to benefit from Tax haven and retire somewhere where your money goes 5 times as far 😂
