🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Chinese fraud victims lose key court battle over 61,000 Bitcoin

Chinese fraud victims seeking to recover 61,000 seized Bitcoin face a legal setback after a UK court ruled that Chinese law governs their claims.

Chinese fraud victims seeking to recover 61,000 Bitcoin seized by the British government have lost a key legal battle after London’s High Court ruled that Chinese law, rather than English law, should govern claims to the assets.

On Monday, Justice Mark Turnerrejectedarguments for applying English law or a combination of English and Chinese law to the victims’ ownership claims. The judge ruled that Chinese law must determine whether the claimants have property rights in the seized Bitcoin, leaving the validity of claims for subsequent proceedings.

“The relevant damage occurred in China. The Applicants parted with their money in China,” Turner wrote. “The contractual relationships thereby induced were entered into in China.”
