倫敦市警察已經開始了一項民事資產恢復計劃

該合作夥伴關係旨在協調私人和公共利益相關者之間的努力，以調查和收回受害者損失的資金

The City of London Police has begun a civil asset recovery program in partnership with international law firm Gowling WLG.

倫敦市警察局已與國際律師事務所Gowling WLG合作開始了一項民事資產恢復計劃。

The partnership will aim to coordinate efforts between private and public stakeholders to investigate and recover money lost by victims because of fraud in cases where a criminal prosecution is not possible or viable, such as those perpetrated by anonymous or pseudonymous crypto-criminals.

該夥伴關係將旨在協調私人和公共利益相關者之間的努力，以調查和收回受害者損失的資金，因為在刑事起訴是不可能或可行的情況下，例如由匿名或假名的加密貨幣犯下的犯罪。

Announcing the partnership, Bríd Holden, Gowling Director, said: “After a successful pilot, we are pleased to be working on this initiative with City of London Police to investigate and support victims to recoup monies lost to such frauds. We are hoping that working in collaboration with City of London Police will change the landscape and encourage more victims to report fraud, raising awareness generally.”

高明總監布里德·霍爾頓（BrídHolden）宣布合作夥伴關係：“在成功的飛行員之後，我們很高興與倫敦市警察局（City City of London Police）一起進行這項倡議，以調查和支持受害者，以收集失去此類欺詐的款項。我們希望與倫敦市的合作合作，與倫敦警察合作，將改變景觀，並鼓勵更多的受害者報告欺詐行為，通常會提高欺詐行為。

Holden added that “£570 million was lost to fraud in the first half of 2024 in the U.K., meanwhile, according to blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, digital asset scams received at least $9.9 billion globally in 2024 alone.”

霍爾頓補充說：“在2024年上半年在英國上半年，欺詐損失了5.7億英鎊，與此同時，根據區塊鏈分析公司的鏈分析，僅2024年，數字資產騙局全球至少獲得了至少99億美元的收入。”

Detective Chief Inspector Craig Mullish of the City of London Police said of the asset recovery initiative: “As a victim of fraud, you can feel helpless and that you have to shoulder the often heavy financial burden of losing money at the hands of criminals.

倫敦市警察局的偵探首席檢查員克雷格·穆里什（Craig Mullish）談到了這項資產恢復倡議：“作為欺詐的受害者，您可能會感到無助，並且您必須承擔在犯罪分子手中經常虧本的沉重經濟負擔。

“This trial with Gowling WLG is an incredibly positive initiative, which we hope will provide a clear process for victims in helping them take back what is owed to them.”

“與Gowling WLG進行的這項審判是一項非常積極的倡議，我們希望這將為受害者提供一個明確的過程，以幫助他們收回欠他們的欠款。”

The initiative was launched following a pilot program in which a woman in her 80s who had been defrauded of more than £2 million in a digital asset scam had some of her funds recovered.

該倡議是在試點計劃之後發起的，其中一名80多歲的婦女在數字資產騙局中欺騙了超過200萬英鎊，她的一些資金已收回。

The partnership appears to be a positive step in the fight to recover stolen assets, but it isn’t the only recent success story in the area.

該合作夥伴關係似乎是為追回被盜資產而戰的積極步驟，但這並不是該地區唯一的成功故事。

Recent recoveries facilitated by new laws

新法律促進的最新恢復

In March, the U.K. police, working in conjunction with a team of specialist lawyers, recovered over £520,000 in digital assets that had been defrauded from an 80-year-old man.

3月，英國警察與一支專業律師團隊合作，收回了超過520,000英鎊的數字資產，這些資產曾被一名80歲的男子欺騙。

The recovery was the first case of its kind utilizing the recently amended Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (“POCA”), which allows for court restraining orders to be issued and used by authorities to retrieve digital assets directly from exchanges and custodian wallet providers.

復甦是使用最近修訂的2002年犯罪收益（“ POCA”）的第一個案例，該案件允許當局發出和使用法院限制命令，以直接從交易所和保管人錢包提供者中取回數字資產。

This process, already bearing fruit, will likely be further smoothed by the almost inevitable passage of the Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill, which would create a new category of personal property for digital assets and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the U.K.—officially recognizing digital assets as property under the law, with all the associated protections and recourses (if lost/stolen) that come with that classification.

這一過程已經取得了良好的效果，幾乎不可避免地通過該財產（數字資產等）法案來進一步平滑，這將在英國為數字資產和不可謀殺的代幣（NFTS）創建一個新的個人財產 - 根據法律，數字資產在法律下以所有相關的保護和遺失（如果丟失的/斯托爾斯）為生。

The bill was introduced in September and is currently being reviewed in the House of Lords, the U.K.’s upper house of Parliament.

該法案於9月提出，目前正在英國議會上議院上議院進行審查。

Digital asset recovery

數字資產回收

Thus, once thought unlikely—even impossible—digital asset recovery is becoming increasingly common, with some even arguing that the process can be easier than with real-world assets, thanks to the unique features of blockchain technology, such as immutability and traceability.

因此，一旦認為數字資產的恢復不可能，甚至有些人甚至認為，由於區塊鏈技術的獨特功能，例如不可變形和可追溯性，因此甚至認為該過程比現實世界中的資產更容易。

Numerous services and firms already exist to assist in the process, for example, Token Recovery, which announced the launch of its end-to-end digital asset recovery service last June.

例如，已經存在許多服務和公司來協助這一過程，例如令牌恢復，該過程宣佈於去年6月推出其端到端的數字資產恢復服務。

According to Token Recovery, it “retrieves digital assets from all networks,” making its services “chain agnostic.”

根據Token Recovery，它“從所有網絡中檢索數字資產”，使其服務“鏈不可知論”。

It can handle a variety of recovery scenarios, including exchange scams, fraudulent DeFi protocols, NFT rug pulls and private key loss or theft.

它可以處理各種恢復方案，包括交換騙局，欺詐性的Defi協議，NFT地毯拉力和私鑰損失或盜竊。

Token Recovery’s services combine expertise in blockchain investigations with legal expertise and analysis of blockchain protocols to trace, freeze and ultimately—if possible—recover lost and stolen assets.

Token Recovery的服務將區塊鏈調查的專業知識與法律專業知識以及對區塊鏈協議進行分析，以追踪，凍結以及最終（如果可能的話）損失和被盜資產。

These digital asset-focused companies sit alongside law firms likeGowling WLG, who bring their own legal and technical expertise to bear on the problem.

這些以數字資產為中心的公司與律師事務所坐在一起，他們將自己的法律和技術專長帶來了問題。

Now, with the collaboration of authorities and favorable laws such as those in the U.K., the recovery of assets appears to be a much more hopeful cause.

現在，隨著當局的合作和有利的法律​​，例如英國的法律，資產的收回似乎是一個更加有希望的原因。
