此舉是在經過多年的法律爭論和調查之後做出的,最終導緻美國司法部 (DOJ) 稱其為歷史上最大規模的資產扣押。
A federal court has ruled that more than 94,000 Bitcoin, seized in connection with the high-profile 2016 hack of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex, must be returned to the platform.
聯邦法院裁定,因 2016 年備受矚目的加密貨幣交易所 Bitfinex 駭客事件而被扣押的超過 94,000 枚比特幣必須歸還給該平台。
The move comes after years of legal wrangling and investigation, culminating in what the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has called the largest asset seizure in its history.
此舉是在經過多年的法律爭論和調查之後做出的,最終導緻美國司法部 (DOJ) 稱其為歷史上最大規模的資產扣押。
The 2016 breach saw hackers divert nearly 120,000 Bitcoin—worth approximately $71 million at the time—away from the Hong Kong-based exchange. Today, those coins are valued at close to $12 billion, owing to Bitcoin’s surging price. Roughly $9 billion of the stolen cryptocurrency has been recovered, according to Tuesday’s court filing.
在 2016 年的駭客攻擊事件中,駭客從這家香港交易所轉移了近 12 萬枚比特幣(當時價值約 7,100 萬美元)。如今,由於比特幣價格飆升,這些代幣的價值接近 120 億美元。根據週二的法庭文件,大約 90 億美元的被盜加密貨幣已被追回。
In the filing, DOJ officials stated that Bitfinex, rather than its customers, qualifies for the return of the seized assets. The government’s position drew from its conclusion that there are no identifiable “victims” under relevant U.S. law for the particular offenses of conviction—money laundering and conspiracy—since the statute of limitations for the hack itself had expired.
美國司法部官員在文件中表示,是 Bitfinex 而不是其客戶有資格返還被扣押的資產。政府的立場是基於這樣的結論:由於駭客行為本身的訴訟時效已經到期,根據美國相關法律,對於洗錢和共謀等特定犯罪行為,不存在可識別的「受害者」。
The filing reads, “For the foregoing reasons, there is no ‘victim’ for the specific offenses of conviction in this proceeding,” and further cites “the complexity of the laundering transactions” as a reason that not all stolen coins could be recovered.
文件寫道,“由於上述原因,本訴訟中的具體定罪罪行不存在‘受害者’”,並進一步引用“洗錢交易的複雜性”作為並非所有被盜硬幣都能被追回的原因。
Laundering Scheme and Arrests
洗錢計劃和逮捕
Tuesday’s ruling also sheds new light on the involvement of Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein and his wife, rapper Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan, who pleaded guilty last year to laundering funds from the Bitfinex heist. Lichtenstein admitted to orchestrating the hack itself and is serving a 60-month prison sentence for his role.
週二的裁決還為 Ilya “Dutch” Lichtenstein 和他的妻子、說唱歌手 Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan 的參與提供了新的線索,後者去年承認在 Bitfinex 搶劫案中洗錢。利希滕斯坦承認自己策劃了這次駭客攻擊,目前正在服 60 個月的監禁。
Morgan, best known by her rap persona “Razzlekhan,” was sentenced to 18 months for conspiring to launder the stolen Bitcoin. The DOJ has credited both individuals’ cooperation with helping recover a significant portion of the funds.
摩根因她的說唱角色“Razzlekhan”而聞名,並因密謀洗錢被盜比特幣而被判處 18 個月監禁。美國司法部稱讚兩人的合作幫助追回了很大一部分資金。
Though Morgan’s prison term begins this month, the self-styled entrepreneur has continued her musical pursuits. She recently released a track and video titled “Razzlekhan vs. The United States,” which she described in a statement as a “misfits’ anthem.”
儘管摩根的刑期將於本月開始,但這位自封的企業家仍在繼續她的音樂追求。她最近發布了一首名為“Razzlekhan vs. United States”的曲目和視頻,她在一份聲明中將其描述為“不合時宜的讚歌”。
Morgan has stated the song is based on her experiences stemming from the case: “The track is about fighting the odds and standing up for misfits like me,” she said.
摩根表示,這首歌是根據她在該案中的經歷創作的:「這首歌是關於與困難作鬥爭並為像我這樣的不適應環境的人挺身而出的,」她說。
Impact on Bitfinex Customers
對 Bitfinex 客戶的影響
Following the breach in 2016, Bitfinex “generalized” the losses across all customer accounts, effectively reducing each holder’s balance by 36%. The exchange provided BFX tokens—later supplemented by Recovery Right Tokens (RRT)—as compensation, allowing customers to redeem them for cash or potentially convert them into shares in parent company iFinex.
2016 年發生違規事件後,Bitfinex 將損失「概括」到所有客戶帳戶,有效地將每個持有人的餘額減少了 36%。該交易所提供了 BFX 代幣(後來輔以恢復權代幣(RRT))作為補償,允許客戶將其兌換為現金或可能將其轉換為母公司 iFinex 的股票。
Bitfinex maintains that most customers have been “made whole,” but some account holders dispute this claim, especially since the subsequent rise in Bitcoin’s price far exceeded the value of the tokens.
Bitfinex 堅稱大多數客戶已“恢復健康”,但一些帳戶持有人對這一說法提出異議,特別是因為隨後比特幣價格的上漲遠遠超過了代幣的價值。
Now, with the court ordering the return of 94,643 Bitcoin to Bitfinex, questions over who is entitled to a share of the recovered assets have reignited. The DOJ has set up a website to gather statements from those who believe they qualify as victims, and third parties have until January 28, 2025, to file objections or assert a claim.
現在,隨著法院下令將 94,643 比特幣退還給 Bitfinex,關於誰有權分享所追回資產的問題再次引發爭議。美國司法部建立了一個網站,收集那些認為自己有資格成為受害者的人的聲明,第三方可以在 2025 年 1 月 28 日之前提出異議或提出索賠。
Legal observers suggest the restitution hearing—scheduled for February 25, 2025—could set a precedent for how courts address victim status in cryptocurrency theft cases.
法律觀察家表示,定於 2025 年 2 月 25 日舉行的歸還聽證會可能會為法院如何處理加密貨幣竊盜案件中的受害者身分問題樹立先例。

Future Proceedings
未來訴訟程序
In addition to the primary sum earmarked for Bitfinex, authorities noted that a “third-party ancillary forfeiture proceeding” is in place to manage crypto that remains unrecovered or linked to money laundering activities. The government’s stance holds that any remaining laundered assets must be dealt with separately, allowing those who wish to stake a claim—such as certain Bitfinex customers—to argue their case in court.
除了指定用於 Bitfinex 的主要資金外,當局還指出,還設立了「第三方輔助沒收程序」來管理尚未追回或與洗錢活動有關的加密貨幣。政府的立場是,任何剩餘的洗錢資產都必須單獨處理,允許那些希望提出索賠的人(例如某些 Bitfinex 客戶)在法庭上辯論。
Bitfinex has reaffirmed its commitment to allocating any recovered funds to redeem the remaining RRT tokens, stating it is the “sole victim” of the 2016 hack for legal purposes. “We have always believed recovery of the stolen Bitcoin was possible,” a company representative said. “We will continue working diligently to distribute recovered assets in an equitable manner.”
Bitfinex 重申其承諾將分配所有追回的資金來贖回剩餘的 RRT 代幣,並表示自己是 2016 年出於法律目的的駭客攻擊的「唯一受害者」。 「我們一直相信追回被盜的比特幣是可能的,」一位公司代表表示。 “我們將繼續努力以公平的方式分配追回的資產。”
Observers say the forthcoming restitution hearing will be crucial. If the court sides fully with Bitfinex and grants it sole ownership of the returned Bitcoin, it could mean limited recourse for account holders who saw their balances cut nearly a decade ago.
觀察家表示,即將舉行的歸還聽證會至關重要。如果法院完全站在 Bitfinex 一邊,並授予其對退回的比特幣的唯一所有權,這可能意味著近十年前餘額被削減的帳戶持有人的追索權有限。
