德國瞄準技術打擊加密貨幣犯罪

作為打擊加密貨幣犯罪的一部分，德國警方最近關閉了該國 47 家未經許可的加密貨幣交易所。

German police have recently shut down 47 unlicensed crypto exchanges in the country as part of a crackdown on crypto crime. The operation involved the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the Central Office for Combating Internet Crime (ZIT), and the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s office.

作為打擊加密貨幣犯罪的一部分，德國警方最近關閉了該國 47 個未經許可的加密貨幣交易所。此次行動涉及聯邦刑事警察局（BKA）、中央打擊網路犯罪辦公室（ZIT）和法蘭克福檢察官辦公室。

The regulators have accused the exchange operators of enabling money laundering on a massive scale due to non-adherence to AML policies. The crackdown focused on the exchanges that supported anonymous transactions, making it easier for criminals to launder the money.

監管機構指責交易所營運商由於不遵守反洗錢政策而導致大規模洗錢活動。打擊行動的重點是支持匿名交易的交易所，這使得犯罪者更容易洗錢。

The researchers also established that these platforms did not require registration and identification, facilitating the conversion of cryptocurrencies without supervision. As per the law enforcement agencies, these platforms acted as marketplaces for darknet dealers, botnet operators, and other cyber criminals cleaning dirty money.

研究人員還發現，這些平台不需要註冊和身份驗證，有助於在沒有監督的情況下進行加密貨幣的轉換。根據執法機構的說法，這些平台充當了暗網交易商、殭屍網路營運商和其他網路犯罪分子清洗髒錢的市場。

The confiscated servers contain many records, transactions, registrations, and IP addresses, among other things. The authorities have access to the customers’ information, but it may be difficult to prosecute the culprits.

被沒收的伺服器包含許多記錄、交易、註冊和 IP 位址等。當局可以獲取客戶的信息，但可能很難起訴罪犯。

The operators are reportedly based in countries with inadequate or no anti-money laundering laws, making prosecuting difficult.

據報道，這些業者位於反洗錢法不完善或沒有反洗錢法的國家，這使得起訴變得困難。

German police have confiscated servers belonging to 47 unlicensed crypto exchanges in the country, uncovering a massive network of illicit crypto activities. The operation, carried out in cooperation with the Central Office for Combating Internet Crime (ZIT) and the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s office, aimed to crack down on money laundering and other crypto crimes.

德國警方沒收了該國 47 個未經許可的加密貨幣交易所的伺服器，揭露了一個大規模的非法加密貨幣活動網路。該行動是與中央打擊網路犯罪辦公室（ZIT）和法蘭克福檢察官辦公室合作開展的，旨在打擊洗錢和其他加密貨幣犯罪。

The authorities have accused the exchange operators of enabling large-scale money laundering operations by failing to adhere to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies. In particular, the crackdown focused on the exchanges that facilitated anonymous transactions, making it easier for criminals to launder their money.

當局指責交易所營運商因不遵守反洗錢（AML）政策而助長了大規模洗錢活動。特別是，打擊行動集中在促進匿名交易的交易所，使犯罪分子更容易洗錢。

Moreover, the researchers discovered that these platforms did not require registration or identification, allowing for the conversion of cryptocurrencies without any supervision. According to the law enforcement agencies, these platforms served as marketplaces for darknet dealers, botnet operators, and other cyber criminals attempting to clean their dirty money.

此外，研究人員發現這些平台不需要註冊或身份驗證，允許在沒有任何監督的情況下進行加密貨幣的轉換。據執法機構稱，這些平台成為暗網交易商、殭屍網路營運商和其他試圖洗白髒錢的網路犯罪分子的市場。

The confiscated servers contain a wealth of information, including records, transactions, registrations, and IP addresses. While the authorities can now access the customers’ information, they may face challenges in prosecuting the culprits.

被沒收的伺服器包含大量訊息，包括記錄、交易、註冊和 IP 位址。雖然當局現在可以訪問客戶的訊息，但他們在起訴罪犯方面可能面臨挑戰。

The operators of these unlicensed crypto exchanges are reportedly based in countries that lack adequate anti-money laundering laws or do not prioritize the prosecution of cybercriminals. This makes it difficult for German law enforcement to pursue legal action against the individuals involved in these illicit activities.

據報道，這些未經許可的加密貨幣交易所的運營商位於缺乏足夠反洗錢法或不優先起訴網路犯罪分子的國家。這使得德國執法部門很難對參與這些非法活動的個人採取法律行動。

As a result, the law enforcement agencies are shifting their focus to dismantling the technological infrastructure that supports these crypto crimes. According to the police, targeting the infrastructure is more feasible than going after the activists themselves.

因此，執法機構正在將重點轉向拆除支持這些加密貨幣犯罪的技術基礎設施。警方表示，針對基礎建設比追捕活動人士本身更可行。

In particular, they aim to restrict cybercriminals' access to servers used to launder their money, aligning with Germany's ongoing efforts to combat the criminal use of cryptocurrencies.

特別是，他們的目標是限制網路犯罪分子存取用於洗錢的伺服器，這與德國打擊加密貨幣犯罪活動的持續努力一致。

In previous operations, German law enforcement has demonstrated the effectiveness of its approach to criminal structures, such as the confiscation and auctioning of Bitcoin from the now-defunct Movie2k.

在先前的行動中，德國執法部門已經證明了其打擊犯罪結構方法的有效性，例如沒收和拍賣現已解散的 Movie2k 中的比特幣。

The authorities have also utilized social media to shut down websites and disrupt criminal groups. However, such actions can have ripple effects in the market, as large sales may lead to price changes in the cryptocurrency market.

當局也利用社群媒體關閉網站並瓦解犯罪集團。然而，此類行為可能會對市場產生連鎖反應，因為大量銷售可能會導致加密貨幣市場的價格變化。
