愛爾蘭犯罪資產局 (CAB) 正在努力解決一個重大問題,涉及從一名前毒販手中查獲的約 3.5 億歐元(約 3.83 億美元)的比特幣 (BTC)。
The Irish Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) is facing a major problem with about $383 million in Bitcoin (BTC) that was seized from a former drug dealer. The cryptocurrency is stored in 12 different wallets, and the agency has not been able to unlock the assets for over five years.
愛爾蘭犯罪資產局 (CAB) 面臨著一個重大問題,從一名前毒販手中查獲了價值約 3.83 億美元的比特幣 (BTC)。該加密貨幣儲存在 12 個不同的錢包中,該機構五年多來一直無法解鎖這些資產。
The Bitcoin was confiscated from Clifton Collins, a 53-year-old former beekeeper from Dublin who was running a large cannabis operation. Collins managed to avoid law enforcement for years, but a routine police patrol in 2017 led to his arrest. Officers found about $2,200 worth of cannabis in Collins’ vehicle, which sparked a broader investigation that uncovered large drug-growing operations in several rented properties.
比特幣是從克利夫頓柯林斯 (Clifton Collins) 手中沒收的,他是一位來自都柏林的 53 歲前養蜂人,經營著一家大型大麻工廠。柯林斯多年來設法躲避執法,但 2017 年一次警察例行巡邏導致他被捕。警方在柯林斯的車中發現了價值約 2,200 美元的大麻,這引發了更廣泛的調查,發現在幾處出租房產中存在大規模毒品種植活動。
Collins had invested in Bitcoin early on, around 2011 and 2012, when the cryptocurrency was still in its early stages. As Bitcoin became more popular and valuable, he spread his holdings across multiple wallets to protect his growing wealth.
柯林斯很早就投資了比特幣,大約在 2011 年和 2012 年,當時加密貨幣還處於早期階段。隨著比特幣變得越來越流行和有價值,他將其持有的比特幣分散到多個錢包中,以保護他不斷增長的財富。
According to reports, Collins carefully documented the digital keys needed to access these wallets and stashed this crucial information in a fishing rod case at one of his rental properties in County Galway. However, following a break-in at his home, Collins claimed he lost the case, which created a significant barrier to accessing his substantial Bitcoin holdings.
據報道,柯林斯仔細記錄了訪問這些錢包所需的數位密鑰,並將這些重要資訊存放在他位於戈爾韋郡的一處出租房產的釣魚竿盒中。然而,在他的家被闖入後,柯林斯聲稱他輸了官司,這給他大量獲取比特幣資產造成了重大障礙。
Collins was eventually sentenced to five years in prison for his drug activities and forfeited assets worth €1.2 million, which included €1 million in Bitcoin for which he still had the access codes. The Irish authorities' current inability to access the remaining seized Bitcoin highlights a complex legal and law enforcement issue involving digital assets.
柯林斯最終因毒品活動被判處五年監禁,並被沒收價值 120 萬歐元的資產,其中包括他仍然擁有訪問代碼的 100 萬歐元比特幣。愛爾蘭當局目前無法取得剩餘的扣押比特幣,凸顯了涉及數位資產的複雜法律和執法問題。
The initial value of the seized Bitcoin was about $58 million at the time of confiscation. However, as cryptocurrency prices have surged, the value of these assets has increased to $383 million, raising the stakes for the CAB even higher.
沒收時,被扣押的比特幣初始價值約為 5,800 萬美元。然而,隨著加密貨幣價格飆升,這些資產的價值已增至 3.83 億美元,這使得 CAB 的賭注更高。
In its latest annual report, the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau noted that it returned €8.6 million to the Irish Exchequer in 2023, marking the highest return in 15 years from various cases, including those involving digital assets. This figure highlights the bureau’s ongoing efforts to manage and monetize seized assets, although the Bitcoin issue remains a notable exception.
愛爾蘭犯罪資產局在最新的年度報告中指出,它在 2023 年向愛爾蘭財政部返還了 860 萬歐元,這是 15 年來各種案件(包括涉及數位資產的案件)的最高回報。這一數字突顯了該局在管理和貨幣化扣押資產方面正在進行的努力,儘管比特幣問題仍然是一個明顯的例外。
Bitcoin is currently trading at about $61,740, having recently lost critical support at the $62,000 mark. The cryptocurrency experienced a 1.4% retracement in the past 24 hours, reflecting broader market movements.
比特幣目前交易價格約為 61,740 美元,最近失去了 62,000 美元關卡的關鍵支撐。該加密貨幣在過去 24 小時內經歷了 1.4% 的回調,反映了更廣泛的市場趨勢。
The situation surrounding the seized Bitcoin not only highlights the complexities of digital asset management for law enforcement but also underscores the growing financial implications as cryptocurrency values continue to rise. The CAB's ongoing challenge to unlock these funds raises questions about the future of seized digital assets and the potential loss of millions due to missing access keys.
圍繞被扣押的比特幣的情況不僅凸顯了執法部門數位資產管理的複雜性,而且還凸顯了隨著加密貨幣價值持續上漲而日益增長的財務影響。 CAB 解鎖這些資金的持續挑戰引發了人們對被扣押的數位資產的未來以及因丟失存取金鑰而可能造成的數百萬美元損失的疑問。
The case of Clifton Collins and the locked Bitcoin serves as a stark reminder of the challenges posed by digital currencies in law enforcement and asset recovery. As the Irish Criminal Assets Bureau navigates this unique predicament, the fate of $383 million in Bitcoin remains uncertain, highlighting both the potential and pitfalls of cryptocurrency in today's financial landscape.
克利夫頓·柯林斯 (Clifton Collins) 和被鎖定的比特幣案件清楚地提醒人們數位貨幣在執法和資產追回方面帶來的挑戰。當愛爾蘭犯罪資產局應對這一獨特困境時,價值 3.83 億美元的比特幣的命運仍然不確定,這突顯了加密貨幣在當今金融格局中的潛力和陷阱。
