伦敦市警察已经开始了一项民事资产恢复计划

该合作伙伴关系旨在协调私人和公共利益相关者之间的努力，以调查和收回受害者损失的资金

The City of London Police has begun a civil asset recovery program in partnership with international law firm Gowling WLG.

伦敦市警察局已与国际律师事务所Gowling WLG合作开始了一项民事资产恢复计划。

The partnership will aim to coordinate efforts between private and public stakeholders to investigate and recover money lost by victims because of fraud in cases where a criminal prosecution is not possible or viable, such as those perpetrated by anonymous or pseudonymous crypto-criminals.

该合作伙伴关系将旨在协调私人和公共利益相关者之间的努力，以调查和收回受害者损失的资金，因为在刑事起诉是不可能或可行的情况下，例如由匿名或假名加密犯罪犯下的罪行。

Announcing the partnership, Bríd Holden, Gowling Director, said: “After a successful pilot, we are pleased to be working on this initiative with City of London Police to investigate and support victims to recoup monies lost to such frauds. We are hoping that working in collaboration with City of London Police will change the landscape and encourage more victims to report fraud, raising awareness generally.”

高明总监布里德·霍尔顿（BrídHolden）宣布合作伙伴关系：“在成功的飞行员之后，我们很高兴与伦敦市警察局（City City of London Police）一起进行这项倡议，以调查和支持受害者，以收集失去此类欺诈的款项。我们希望与伦敦市的合作合作，与伦敦警察合作，将改变景观，并鼓励更多的受害者报告欺诈行为，通常会提高欺诈行为。

Holden added that “£570 million was lost to fraud in the first half of 2024 in the U.K., meanwhile, according to blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis, digital asset scams received at least $9.9 billion globally in 2024 alone.”

霍尔顿补充说：“在2024年上半年在英国上半年，欺诈损失了5.7亿英镑，与此同时，根据区块链分析公司的链分析，仅2024年，数字资产骗局全球至少获得了至少99亿美元的收入。”

Detective Chief Inspector Craig Mullish of the City of London Police said of the asset recovery initiative: “As a victim of fraud, you can feel helpless and that you have to shoulder the often heavy financial burden of losing money at the hands of criminals.

伦敦市警察局的侦探首席检查员克雷格·穆里什（Craig Mullish）谈到了这项资产恢复倡议：“作为欺诈的受害者，您可能会感到无助，并且您必须承担在犯罪分子手中经常亏本的沉重经济负担。

“This trial with Gowling WLG is an incredibly positive initiative, which we hope will provide a clear process for victims in helping them take back what is owed to them.”

“与Gowling WLG进行的这项审判是一项非常积极的倡议，我们希望这将为受害者提供一个明确的过程，以帮助他们收回欠他们的欠款。”

The initiative was launched following a pilot program in which a woman in her 80s who had been defrauded of more than £2 million in a digital asset scam had some of her funds recovered.

该倡议是在试点计划之后发起的，其中一名80多岁的妇女在数字资产骗局中欺骗了超过200万英镑，她的一些资金已收回。

The partnership appears to be a positive step in the fight to recover stolen assets, but it isn’t the only recent success story in the area.

该合作伙伴关系似乎是为追回被盗资产而战的积极步骤，但这并不是该地区唯一的成功故事。

Recent recoveries facilitated by new laws

新法律促进的最新恢复

In March, the U.K. police, working in conjunction with a team of specialist lawyers, recovered over £520,000 in digital assets that had been defrauded from an 80-year-old man.

3月，英国警察与一支专业律师团队合作，收回了超过520,000英镑的数字资产，这些资产曾被一名80岁的男子欺骗。

The recovery was the first case of its kind utilizing the recently amended Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (“POCA”), which allows for court restraining orders to be issued and used by authorities to retrieve digital assets directly from exchanges and custodian wallet providers.

复苏是使用最近修订的2002年犯罪收益（“ POCA”）的第一个案例，该案件允许当局发出和使用法院限制命令，以直接从交易所和保管人钱包提供者中取回数字资产。

This process, already bearing fruit, will likely be further smoothed by the almost inevitable passage of the Property (Digital Assets etc) Bill, which would create a new category of personal property for digital assets and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the U.K.—officially recognizing digital assets as property under the law, with all the associated protections and recourses (if lost/stolen) that come with that classification.

这一过程已经取得了良好的效果，几乎不可避免地通过该财产（数字资产等）法案来进一步平滑，这将在英国为数字资产和不可谋杀的代币（NFTS）创建一个新的个人财产 - 根据法律，数字资产在法律下以所有相关的保护和遗失（如果丢失的/斯托尔斯）为生。

The bill was introduced in September and is currently being reviewed in the House of Lords, the U.K.’s upper house of Parliament.

该法案于9月提出，目前正在英国议会上议院上议院进行审查。

Digital asset recovery

数字资产回收

Thus, once thought unlikely—even impossible—digital asset recovery is becoming increasingly common, with some even arguing that the process can be easier than with real-world assets, thanks to the unique features of blockchain technology, such as immutability and traceability.

因此，一旦认为数字资产的恢复不可能，甚至有些人甚至认为，由于区块链技术的独特功能，例如不变性和可追溯性。

Numerous services and firms already exist to assist in the process, for example, Token Recovery, which announced the launch of its end-to-end digital asset recovery service last June.

例如，已经存在许多服务和公司来协助这一过程，例如令牌恢复，该过程宣布于去年6月推出其端到端的数字资产恢复服务。

According to Token Recovery, it “retrieves digital assets from all networks,” making its services “chain agnostic.”

根据Token Recovery，它“从所有网络中检索数字资产”，使其服务“链不可知论”。

It can handle a variety of recovery scenarios, including exchange scams, fraudulent DeFi protocols, NFT rug pulls and private key loss or theft.

它可以处理各种恢复方案，包括交换骗局，欺诈性的Defi协议，NFT地毯拉力和私钥损失或盗窃。

Token Recovery’s services combine expertise in blockchain investigations with legal expertise and analysis of blockchain protocols to trace, freeze and ultimately—if possible—recover lost and stolen assets.

Token Recovery的服务将区块链调查的专业知识与法律专业知识以及对区块链协议进行分析，以追踪，冻结以及最终（如果可能的话）损失和被盗资产。

These digital asset-focused companies sit alongside law firms likeGowling WLG, who bring their own legal and technical expertise to bear on the problem.

这些以数字资产为中心的公司与律师事务所坐在一起，他们将自己的法律和技术专长带来了问题。

Now, with the collaboration of authorities and favorable laws such as those in the U.K., the recovery of assets appears to be a much more hopeful cause.

现在，随着当局的合作和有利的法律​​，例如英国的法律，资产的收回似乎是一个更加有希望的原因。
