一些犯罪组织尚未收到备忘录 - 加密货币是可追溯的 - 可以解释最近与加密相关的绑架

今年，有22起记录的与加密货币相关的人盗窃事件，而2024年为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首席执行官乔纳森·莱文（Jonathan Levin）说，几个犯罪组织尚未收到备忘录 - 加密货币是可以追溯的 - 可以解释最近与加密相关的绑架串。

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.

莱文在Cointelegraph涵盖的2025年共识加密会议上说，执法部门越来越成功地在追踪被盗的资金和加密赎金付款方面，导致“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.”

“无论出于何种原因，都有一种看法，即加密是一种无法追踪的资产，这确实使自己助长了以某种方式行事的罪犯。”

“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.”

“显然，一些有组织的犯罪团体实际上没有收到加密货币的备忘录，这些组织实际上正在遭受这些攻击，其中一些人集中在法国，但不仅仅是唯一的。”

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.

本月到目前为止，巴黎发生了两次与加密货币有关的严重袭击。 5月13日，三名袭击者试图绑架法国加密交易所Paymium的联合创始人兼首席执行官皮埃尔·诺萨特（Pierre Noizat）的女儿和孙子。

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.

该月初，5月3日，巴黎警察释放了一位加密企业家的父亲，该企业家被拘留了几天，这是700万欧元（780万美元）绑架地块的一部分。这些袭击促使法国内政部长与加密专业人员会面，并解决了不断增加的安全问题。

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，区块链的调查员Zachxbt在10月发出警报，称他从Crypto Home Inscasion盗窃的多个受害者的消息中，其速度远高于其他地区。

“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.

莱文说：“这些信息需要传达出这些付款是可以追溯的，并且执法机构内的这些单位实际上非常成功，可以在这些绑架案件中负责这些人来负责。”

“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.

他补充说：“即使不是绑架这些人的人，而是在策划这些人的有组织犯罪团体的上游。”

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.

在线流媒体Amouranth是2025年3月的家庭入侵的受害者，当时有几名武装袭击者将她持有枪口，并要求钥匙到她的加密钱包，四名嫌疑人与事件有关并被执法人员逮捕。

Crypto kidnapping “not such a profitable business”

加密绑架“不是那么有利可图的业务”

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.

莱文说，他希望有组织的犯罪向被逮捕的加密抢劫犯传达信息，具体来说，“这不是一项有利可图的业务”，在某些情况下，赎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.

他说：“有能力也有可能收回其中的一些付款。我认为，总的来说，这里的目标不一定是收回钱，而是让这些人负责。”

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，尽管执法部门在追踪针对加密货币行业的罪犯方面取得了一些成功，但莱文说，一连串的离线抢劫仍然是“惨淡的”情况，该行业也应该采取额外的步骤来扼杀盗窃。

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

“人们需要非常谨慎地在线分享有关它们的信息。”

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.

根据Cypherpunk和自我监测的公司Casa Casa，Jameson Lopp创建的GitHub列表，今年有22起与Crypto相关的盗窃案的记录事件，而与2024年的28次发生”。

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，这个数字可能更高。剑桥大学的一项研究于去年9月发布，发现这些所谓的“扳手袭击”通常由于恐惧而被低估了。
