一些犯罪組織尚未收到備忘錄 - 加密貨幣是可追溯的 - 可以解釋最近與加密相關的綁架

今年，有22起記錄的與加密貨幣相關的人盜竊事件，而2024年為28例

Several criminal organizations are yet to receive the memo — crypto is traceable — and could explain the recent string of crypto-related kidnappings, says Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin.

Chainalysis首席執行官喬納森·萊文（Jonathan Levin）說，幾個犯罪組織尚未收到備忘錄 - 加密貨幣是可以追溯的 - 可以解釋最近與加密相關的綁架串。

Law enforcement has been increasingly successful at tracing stolen funds and crypto ransom payments, resulting in “a lot of arrests,” Levin said during the 2025 Consensus crypto conference, covered by Cointelegraph.

萊文在Cointelegraph涵蓋的2025年共識加密會議上說，執法部門越來越成功地在追踪被盜的資金和加密贖金付款方面，導致“很多逮捕”。

“For whatever reason, there is a perception that’s out there that crypto is an asset that is untraceable, and that really lends itself to criminals acting in a certain way.”

“無論出於何種原因，都有一種看法，即加密是一種無法追踪的資產，這確實使自己助長了以某種方式行事的罪犯。”

“Apparently, the memo that crypto is not untraceable hasn't been received by some of the organized crime groups that are actually perpetrating these attacks, and some of them are concentrated in, you know, France, but not exclusively.”

“顯然，一些有組織的犯罪團體實際上沒有收到加密貨幣的備忘錄，這些組織實際上正在遭受這些攻擊，其中一些人集中在法國，但不僅僅是唯一的。”

There have been two serious crypto-related attacks in Paris so far this month. On May 13, three assailants attempted to kidnap the daughter and grandson of Pierre Noizat, the co-founder and CEO of French crypto exchange Paymium.

本月到目前為止，巴黎發生了兩次與加密貨幣有關的嚴重襲擊。 5月13日，三名襲擊者試圖綁架法國加密交易所Paymium的聯合創始人兼首席執行官皮埃爾·諾薩特（Pierre Noizat）的女兒和孫子。

Earlier in the month, on May 3, Paris police freed the father of a crypto entrepreneur who was held for several days as part of a 7 million euro ($7.8 million) kidnapping plot. The attacks have prompted France’s interior minister to meet with crypto professionals and address rising security concerns.

該月初，5月3日，巴黎警察釋放了一位加密企業家的父親，該企業家被拘留了幾天，這是700萬歐元（780萬美元）綁架地塊的一部分。這些襲擊促使法國內政部長與加密專業人員會面，並解決了不斷增加的安全問題。

Last year, blockchain investigator ZachXBT sounded the alarm in October that he’d been receiving messages from multiple victims of crypto home invasion thefts in Western Europe at a much higher rate than other regions.

去年，區塊鏈的調查員Zachxbt在10月發出警報，稱他從Crypto Home Inscasion盜竊的多個受害者的消息中，其速度遠高於其他地區。

“The message needs to get out there that these payments are traceable and that these units within the law enforcement agencies have actually been very successful at holding some of those people to account in those kidnapping cases,” Levin said.

萊文說：“這些信息需要傳達出這些付款是可以追溯的，並且執法機構內的這些單位實際上非常成功，可以在這些綁架案件中負責這些人來負責。”

“And even if it’s not the people that are kidnapping those people, but actually going upstream to the organized crime groups that are orchestrating these,” he added.

他補充說：“即使不是綁架這些人的人，而是在策劃這些人的有組織犯罪團體的上游。”

Online streamer Amouranth was the victim of a home invasion in March 2025 when several armed assailants held her at gunpoint and demanded the keys to her crypto wallet, four suspects were charged in connection with the incident and arrested by law enforcement.

在線流媒體Amouranth是2025年3月的家庭入侵的受害者，當時有幾名武裝襲擊者將她持有槍口，並要求鑰匙到她的加密錢包，四名嫌疑人與事件有關並被執法人員逮捕。

Crypto kidnapping “not such a profitable business”

加密綁架“不是那麼有利可圖的業務”

Levin says he hopes organized crime takes a message from crypto robbers being arrested, specifically, that it’s “not such a profitable business to be in,” and in some instances, the ransom payments might even be recoverable.

萊文說，他希望有組織的犯罪向被逮捕的加密搶劫犯傳達信息，具體來說，“這不是一項有利可圖的業務”，在某些情況下，贖金支付甚至可以收回。

“There is the ability to potentially recover some of those payments as well. I think that in general, the goal here is not necessarily the recovery of the money, but it’s holding those people to account,” he said.

他說：“有能力也有可能收回其中的一些付款。我認為，總的來說，這裡的目標不一定是收回錢，而是讓這些人負責。”

However, despite law enforcement having some success in tracking down criminals targeting the crypto industry, Levin says the spate of offline robberies is still a “bleak” situation, and the industry should be taking extra steps to stifle theft as well.

然而，儘管執法部門在追踪針對加密貨幣行業的罪犯方面取得了一些成功，但萊文說，一連串的離線搶劫仍然是“慘淡的”情況，該行業也應該採取額外的步驟來扼殺盜竊。

“People need to be very careful about what information is shared about them online.”

“人們需要非常謹慎地在線分享有關它們的信息。”

This year, there have been 22 recorded incidents of in-person crypto-related theft compared to 28 in 2024, according to a GitHub list created by cypherpunk and co-founder of self-custodial firm Casa, Jameson Lopp.

根據Cypherpunk和自我監測的公司Casa Casa，Jameson Lopp創建的GitHub列表，今年有22起與Crypto相關的盜竊案的記錄事件，而與2024年的28次發生”。

However, the number could be higher. A University of Cambridge study released in September last year found these so-called “wrench attacks” are often underreported due to revictimization fears.

但是，這個數字可能更高。劍橋大學的一項研究於去年9月發布，發現這些所謂的“扳手襲擊”通常由於恐懼而被低估了。
