英國當局首次從毒販手中扣押門羅幣（XMR）山寨幣

加密貨幣最近隨著德國的比特幣銷售而被提上議程，這次在英國以不同的山寨幣脫穎而出。

The UK authorities have confiscated Monero (XMR) from a drug dealer who was selling deadly “weight loss pills” and recorded the first-ever XMR sale in the country.

英國當局從一名銷售致命「減肥藥」的毒販手中沒收了門羅幣（XMR），並創下了該國首次 XMR 銷售記錄。

The authorities have seized the criminally acquired cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) from a drug dealer who was selling deadly “weight loss pills” in the UK. This marks the first time that XMR has been sold in the country.

當局從一名在英國銷售致命「減肥藥」的毒販處查獲了透過犯罪手段獲得的加密貨幣門羅幣（XMR）。這標誌著XMR首次在該國銷售。

The incident has raised concerns about the need for tighter cryptocurrency regulations, highlighting the risk of cryptocurrencies being used for money laundering and other illegal activities.

這起事件引發了人們對是否需要加強加密貨幣監管的擔憂，凸顯了加密貨幣被用於洗錢和其他非法活動的風險。

According to the details of the incident, a 28-year-old British citizen named Jack Edward Finney benefited from Monero while selling DNP, an illegal drug pill. The UK Home Office later classified DNP as a poison.

根據事件細節，一名名叫傑克·愛德華·芬尼（Ja​​ck Edward Finney）的28歲英國公民在銷售非法藥丸DNP時從門羅幣中受益。英國內政部後來將 DNP 歸類為毒藥。

Commenting on the XMR seizure, Adrian Foster, Chief Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said:

英國皇家檢察署 (CPS) 首席檢察官阿德里安福斯特 (Adrian Foster) 在評論 XMR 扣押事件時表示：

“This is the first case where we have realised Monero currency into cash. It shows that criminals cannot stash their money in any cryptocurrency and hope to keep it safe from the authorities.”

「這是我們第一個變現門羅幣的案例。這表明犯罪分子無法將資金存放在任何加密貨幣中，並希望確保其免受當局的侵害。

Andrew Quinn, Head of the FSA’s National Food Crime Unit, said: “We welcome the court’s decision to force Jack Finney to hand over the £23,000 he earned by selling lethal substances on the dark web. Whatever format the money is in, we will find and confiscate it.”

FSA 國家食品犯罪部門負責人安德魯奎因 (Andrew Quinn) 表示：「我們歡迎法院決定迫使傑克芬尼交出他透過在暗網上銷售致命物質而賺取的 23,000 英鎊。無論這些錢是什麼形式，我們都會找到並沒收它。

The confiscated XMRs were converted into British pounds by the UK authorities, and the sale was reportedly made through an undisclosed “cryptocurrency trading platform.”

英國當局將沒收的 XMR 兌換成英鎊，據報道，這筆交易是透過一個未公開的「加密貨幣交易平台」進行的。

What Is Monero, Which Is Being Delisted from Exchanges?

正在從交易所下架的門羅幣是什麼？

Monero is one of the largest privacy tokens, which conceals the addresses and transactions of individuals within its network. As a result, it has become a popular token for people to use when they don't want their illegal activities to be monitored.

門羅幣是最大的隱私代幣之一，它隱藏了其網路內個人的地址和交易。因此，當人們不希望自己的非法活動受到監控時，它已成為人們使用的流行代幣。

Since Monero is a privacy-oriented cryptocurrency, it cannot be tracked or traced, making it a preferred medium for criminals to conduct transactions on the dark web.

由於門羅幣是一種注重隱私的加密貨幣，因此無法被追蹤或追踪，使其成為犯罪分子在暗網上進行交易的首選媒介。

In a related development, Binance, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges, announced on February 20, 2024, that Monero (XMR) was among the four altcoins to be delisted from the platform.

在相關進展中，全球最大的加密貨幣交易所之一幣安於 2024 年 2 月 20 日宣布，門羅幣 (XMR) 是將從該平台下架的四種山寨幣之一。

This delisting move came as an indication that Monero was being frequently used for illicit activities.

這一下架舉動表明門羅幣經常被用於非法活動。

The incident in England once again highlights the risk of cryptocurrencies being used for money laundering and other illegal activities, sparking concerns that the authorities need to ramp up their efforts to combat such practices and tighten cryptocurrency regulations.

英國的這一事件再次凸顯了加密貨幣被用於洗錢和其他非法活動的風險，引發了人們的擔憂，即當局需要加強打擊此類行為並收緊加密貨幣監管。

Finney was sentenced to prison for both money laundering and drug dealing, and the proceeds from the confiscated Moneros were ordered to be donated to charity, concluding the incident and underscoring the need for stricter regulations and controls to prevent cryptocurrencies from being used for illicit activities.

芬尼因洗錢和毒品交易雙雙被判入獄，沒收的門羅幣收益被勒令捐贈給慈善機構，這一事件結束了，並強調需要更嚴格的監管和控制，以防止加密貨幣被用於非法活動。
