巴西法院授权使用NFT在比特币（BTC）案件中通知身份不明的被告

巴西的法院已授权使用涉及丢失比特币（BTC）的案件中使用不可杀菌令牌（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.

巴西的一项法院授权使用不可杀菌令牌（NFTS）在涉及涉嫌金字塔计划的丢失比特币（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.

该决定由当地新闻媒体法律价值观报告，是由BWA巴西破产遗产的一名法官做出的，BWA巴西是一家投资公司，该公司在指控大规模加密金字塔计划后于2021年破产。

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.

法院文件日期为3月27日，强调了受托人要求中断与据称使用债权资金获得的加密资产有关的索赔的限制法规的请求。

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.

庄园强调，尽管钱包的匿名地址是匿名，但比特币的技术架构允许跟踪单个硬币。收到钱包后，可以重复转移BTC，但每笔交易将永久记录在区块链上。

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.

该文件解释说，某些资产通过集中交易所移动，而其他资产可能是通过绕过第三方中介机构的对等方法转移的。

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.

当局可能能够确定在巴西地区涉及的交易所的案件中确定最终受益人，在巴西，要求实体向联邦税收服务报告用户交易。

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，使用不对称加密的对等转移对归因提出了重大挑战，从而通过区块链直接通知成为必要的程序创新。

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来启动法律通知，标志着程序规范的适应，以适应基于区块链的财务活动的独特特征，因为法院应对分散资产流的管辖权和证据复杂性。

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.”

该裁决继续说：“遭受了数百万美元损失的债权人在与技术创新保持一致方面的延误不会进一步损害。因此，我授权法院指定的受托人通过使用NFTS进行电子通信来采取所有必要的行动，以进行所有必要的抗议通知[中断诉讼截止日期]。”

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.

该措施也已提交了检察官办公室意见并收到了有利的回应，它针对数字资产的持有人，其身份仍然未知，但可以通过比特币区块链追踪的钱包地址。

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

遗产声称，使用债权人资金收购了约11,200 BTC。以目前的价格，11,200比特币的价值超过9亿美元。

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

根据文件，这些交易发生在破产之前，现在受到潜在的恢复程序的约束。

A large scheme

一个大计划

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于2017年成立的，并作为一家提供BTC风险的投资公司。它为客户存款提供了5％的固定月收益，这是基于可变回报资产（例如比特币）的不可能的结果。

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，该公司在2020年初冻结了提款，使客户的损失估计为3亿雷亚尔，约为5220万美元。当局估计，这是巴西与所谓的加密金字塔计划有关的最大损失之一。

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的司法恢复申请，声称它将偿还其客户。但是，不到一年后，另一项法院命令将该程序从司法恢复转变为破产，声称该公司没有努力向客户付款。

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.

据称，比利比奥和他的搭档杰西卡·达·席尔瓦·法里亚斯（Jessica da Silva Farias）使用BWA保留的钱购买比特币。他们俩都保持着庞大的状态，尚未被捕。
