Behind Cryptocurrency 'Thefts and Scams': Why Does Civil Relief Frequently Encounter Obstacles?

Behind the surge in cryptocurrency "thefts and scams", why does civil relief frequently hit roadblocks? This article explores the legal challenges through two representative cases. In Case 1, a company paid 800,000 USDT to a Chinese employee of an overseas exchange for a listing service, only to have the employee disappear. Despite cross-border complexities and initial police refusal to accept the report (citing the company’s foreign status and claims that crypto "is not protected by law"), lawyers eventually secured case acceptance by invoking criminal procedure rules and citing regulatory recognition of virtual assets as property. However, formal立案 (case filing) is still pending. Case 2 involved a woman scammed into transferring over RMB 3 million to a USDT exchanger for a fake investment. While police quickly arrested the exchanger, the main scammer remained abroad. The exchanger was released due to lack of criminal intent, and a civil lawsuit against them for unjust enrichment was rejected at filing. The judge indicated that even if accepted, such cases rarely succeed. The analysis highlights key obstacles: the "criminal procedure takes precedence" principle often blocks civil suits until criminal proceedings conclude; if a criminal judgment orders restitution, further civil claims are barred; and bypassing criminal reporting to file civilly usually results in the case being referred back to police, wasting time. Ultimately, when crypto crimes are involved, civil relief is extremely difficult. The more viable path remains criminal prosecution, despite its own challenges, as civil victories are exceptionally rare in practice.

In Surgut, 'Money Launderers' Laundered Nearly ₽100 Million Through Cryptocurrency

In Surgut, Russia, enforcement authorities have dismantled an organized criminal group that laundered nearly 100 million rubles using cryptocurrency. The group specialized in the illegal circulation of payment means, according to an official statement from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The criminals purchased bank cards from individuals to gain access to their accounts, which were then used to collect illicitly obtained funds. The group subsequently cashed out the money, converted it into cryptocurrency, and transferred it to their "curators," charging a commission of 3-15% for their services. According to data from a cryptocurrency exchange, the transaction volume involving the suspects exceeded 94 million rubles. The purchased bank cards were also used for remote thefts across Russia. Three members of the group have been detained, with another placed under travel restrictions. A criminal case has been initiated under the relevant article of the Russian Criminal Code. The Bank of Russia plans to enhance monitoring of the crypto market and strengthen measures against fraud, including the launch of the "Antidrop" system by mid-2027. This system will provide banks with information on "drops" – individuals whose bank details are used for shadow transactions. As part of this effort, banks will be required to link Russian citizens' accounts to their tax identification numbers (INN).
