UK Court Allows $172M Bitcoin Theft Case as Husband Accuses Wife of Stealing Crypto via CCTV

A UK High Court judge has allowed a $172 million lawsuit to proceed, in which a husband accuses his wife of stealing 2,323 Bitcoin from his hardware wallet. The husband claims his wife used home CCTV cameras to secretly obtain his 24-word recovery phrase, enabling her to transfer the funds without his consent in August 2023. The Bitcoin, worth $60 million at the time, has since appreciated significantly. The wife sought dismissal, arguing the initial claim applied only to physical property, which the judge acknowledged. However, the case will continue under other legal claims. The dispute also involves a personal conflict, with the husband having pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife after discovering the alleged theft. This case highlights the legal challenges in applying traditional property laws to digital assets like cryptocurrency. The final ruling is expected to set an important precedent for future crypto-related disputes.

Crypto Traders Under Threat? Another French Kidnapping Intensifies Safety Concerns

Crypto Traders Under Threat? Another French Kidnapping Intensifies Safety Concerns A series of kidnappings and violent assaults targeting cryptocurrency holders in France has raised significant safety concerns within the industry. French authorities are investigating multiple recent incidents where individuals linked to digital assets were attacked at their homes or in public. In one case, assailants invaded a crypto investor’s home in Yvelines, restraining and injuring family members. Separately, an engineer was abducted and assaulted in western France before being released. Security experts describe these crimes as an escalation of real-world threats tied to online wealth, with criminals using physical coercion to gain access to digital assets. Recent cases include home invasions, restraints, and armed threats aimed at extracting cryptocurrency credentials. The trend has sparked unease within crypto communities, with some speculating that safety concerns may have contributed to the cancellation of major industry events like NFT Paris, though no official link has been confirmed. Analysts warn that public figures in crypto are particularly vulnerable, as organized groups monitor social media and public records to identify targets. The situation underscores the growing risk that loss of privacy may turn digital wealth into a physical liability.
