巴西法院授權使用NFT在比特幣（BTC）案件中通知身份不明的被告

巴西的法院已授權使用涉及丟失比特幣（BTC）的案件中使用不可殺菌令牌（NFTS）通知身份不明的被告

A court in Brazil has authorized the use of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to notify unidentified defendants in a case involving missing Bitcoins (BTC) tied to an alleged pyramid scheme.

巴西的一項法院授權使用不可殺菌令牌（NFTS）在涉及涉嫌金字塔計劃的丟失比特幣（BTC）的案件中通知身份不明的被告。

The decision, reported by local news outlet Legal Values, was made by a judge at the bankrupt estate of BWA Brazil, an investment firm that went bankrupt in 2021 following accusations of a large-scale crypto pyramid scheme.

該決定由當地新聞媒體法律價值觀報告，是由BWA巴西破產遺產的一名法官做出的，BWA巴西是一家投資公司，該公司在指控大規模加密金字塔計劃後於2021年破產。

The court documents, dated March 27, highlight the trustee’s request to interrupt the statute of limitations on claims related to crypto assets allegedly acquired using creditor funds.

法院文件日期為3月27日，強調了受託人要求中斷與據稱使用債權資金獲得的加密資產有關的索賠的限制法規的請求。

The estate highlighted that despite the anonymity of wallet addresses, Bitcoin’s technical architecture permits the tracking of individual coins. Once received into a wallet, BTC can be transferred repeatedly, but each transaction is permanently recorded on the blockchain.

莊園強調，儘管錢包的匿名地址是匿名，但比特幣的技術架構允許跟踪單個硬幣。收到錢包後，可以重複轉移BTC，但每筆交易將永久記錄在區塊鏈上。

The filing explained that some assets were moved through centralized exchanges, while others may have been transferred via peer-to-peer methods that bypass third-party intermediaries.

該文件解釋說，某些資產通過集中交易所移動，而其他資產可能是通過繞過第三方中介機構的對等方法轉移的。

Authorities may be able to identify the ultimate beneficiaries in cases involving exchanges domiciled in Brazil, where entities are required to report user transactions to the Federal Revenue Service.

當局可能能夠確定在巴西地區涉及的交易所的案件中確定最終受益人，在巴西，要求實體向聯邦稅收服務報告用戶交易。

However, peer-to-peer transfers using asymmetric encryption present significant challenges for attribution, making direct notification via the blockchain a necessary procedural innovation.

但是，使用不對稱加密的對等轉移對歸因提出了重大挑戰，從而通過區塊鏈直接通知成為必要的程序創新。

The use of NFTs to initiate legal notification marks an adaptation of procedural norms to accommodate blockchain-based financial activity’s unique characteristics as courts grapple with the jurisdictional and evidentiary complexities of decentralized asset flows.

使用NFT來啟動法律通知，標誌著程序規範的適應，以適應基於區塊鏈的財務活動的獨特特徵，因為法院應對分散資產流的管轄權和證據複雜性。

The ruling continues: “Creditors who suffered multimillion-dollar losses cannot be further harmed by legislative delays in keeping up with technological innovation. Therefore, I authorize the court-appointed trustee to take all necessary actions to carry out notification of this interruptive protest [which interrupts lawsuit deadlines] via electronic communication using NFTs.”

該裁決繼續說：“遭受了數百萬美元損失的債權人在與技術創新保持一致方面的延誤不會進一步損害。因此，我授權法院指定的受託人通過使用NFTS進行電子通信來採取所有必要的行動，以進行所有必要的抗議通知[中斷訴訟截止日期]。”

The measure, which was also submitted for the Public Prosecutor’s Office opinion and received a favorable response, targets the holders of digital assets whose identities remain unknown but have wallet addresses that are traceable through the Bitcoin blockchain.

該措施也已提交了檢察官辦公室意見並收到了有利的回應，它針對數字資產的持有人，其身份仍然未知，但可以通過比特幣區塊鏈追踪的錢包地址。

The estate claims that approximately 11,200 BTC were acquired using creditor funds. At current prices, 11,200 Bitcoin is worth over $900 million.

遺產聲稱，使用債權人資金收購了約11,200 BTC。以目前的價格，11,200比特幣的價值超過9億美元。

According to the filing, these transactions occurred before the bankruptcy and are now subject to potential recovery proceedings.

根據文件，這些交易發生在破產之前，現在受到潛在的恢復程序的約束。

A large scheme

一個大計劃

BWA Brazil was founded in 2017 by Paulo Roberto Ramos Bilibio and presented itself as an investment company offering BTC exposure. It offered 5% fixed monthly returns on clients’ deposits, an impossible result based on a variable return asset such as Bitcoin.

BWA巴西是由Paulo Roberto Ramos Bilibio於2017年成立的，並作為一家提供BTC風險的投資公司。它為客戶存款提供了5％的固定月收益，這是基於可變回報資產（例如比特幣）的不可能的結果。

However, the firm froze withdrawals in early 2020, leaving customers with losses estimated at R$300 million — roughly $52.2 million. Authorities estimated this is one of Brazil’s largest losses tied to an alleged crypto pyramid scheme.

但是，該公司在2020年初凍結了提款，使客戶的損失估計為3億雷亞爾，約為5220萬美元。當局估計，這是巴西與所謂的加密金字塔計劃有關的最大損失之一。

In July 2020, a Brazilian court approved BWA’s filing for judicial recovery, claiming it would reimburse its customers. However, less than one year later, another court order changed the process from judicial recovery to bankruptcy, claiming the firm made no efforts to pay its clients.

2020年7月，巴西法院批准了BWA的司法恢復申請，聲稱它將償還其客戶。但是，不到一年後，另一項法院命令將該程序從司法恢復轉變為破產，聲稱該公司沒有努力向客戶付款。

Bilibio and his partner, Jessica da Silva Farias, allegedly used the money retained by BWA to buy Bitcoin. Both of them remain at large and have not been arrested yet.

據稱，比利比奧和他的搭檔傑西卡·達·席爾瓦·法里亞斯（Jessica da Silva Farias）使用BWA保留的錢購買比特幣。他們倆都保持著龐大的狀態，尚未被捕。
