FBI毋須負責抹走價值3.45億比特幣硬碟




FBI無法被責怪抹去價值3.45億美元比特幣的硬碟,法官如此裁定

一名因身份盜竊被定罪的男子聲稱他的硬碟中存有超過3,400個比特幣,卻被FBI查獲並抹去,最終在美國上訴法院敗訴。

在第十一巡迴上訴法院的三名法官組成的法庭上,裁定邁克爾·普萊姆(Michael Prime)無法就他失去的約3,443個比特幣(目前價值3.45億美元)向政府提起訴訟,因為他之前聲稱自己並不擁有這麼多的加密貨幣。

普萊姆在2022年7月獲釋後,要求法院將存有比特幣的硬碟歸還,但FBI已根據標準程序將其抹去,普萊姆認為這是不合法的;法官則表示。

“多年間,普萊姆否認自己擁有大量比特幣。當他尋求在獲釋後找回失去的資產時,比特幣並不在他的清單上,”法官寫道。“直到後來,普萊姆才聲稱自己是一位比特幣大亨。”

法官同意下級法院的看法,認為普萊姆在聲明對比特幣的權利時的延遲是不合理的,並阻止了他的訴訟,補充道:“即使這些比特幣真的存在——這是一個很大的假設——給予普萊姆一個公平的補救措施也是不公平的。”

普萊姆聲稱擁有1500美元的比特幣

根據法官的意見,普萊姆曾聲稱擁有“大約3,500個比特幣”,但在2019年11月與檢方達成認罪協議後,承認了設備詐騙、身份盜竊及非法持有槍支的罪行。

“但在認罪後,普萊姆的說法發生了變化——他不再聲稱擁有大量的加密貨幣,”法官寫道。

法官指出,在2020年2月,普萊姆向政府的財務披露中報告他僅擁有“200到1500美元的比特幣”,並後來告訴緩刑辦公室,這是“他唯一剩下的資產”。

在服刑兩年後被轉移到一個過渡性住所,法官表示普萊姆要求將硬碟歸還,但奧蘭多的聯邦法院拒絕了該請求,因為硬碟已被銷毀。

上訴法院的意見指出,普萊姆試圖“解釋”他較低的數字,聲稱當時“單個比特幣的市場價值在200到1500美元之間”。

“我們不相信這一點,”法官寫道,並補充道,這一估值“荒謬”,因為在2020年2月,比特幣的價格曾超過10,000美元。

加密密鑰是訪問存儲在物理設備(如硬碟或錢包)上的比特幣的唯一方式,失去它也意味著失去對裡面資金的訪問。

根據Glassnode的數據,大約有146萬比特幣,或接近7%的總供應量,可能永遠丟失。然而,估計數字各不相同,Chainalysis在2018年報告稱,永久丟失的比特幣數量可能高達370萬個,比特幣的總供應量的17.5%以上。

這一案件引發了對加密貨幣法律地位的討論,尤其是在涉及執法機構和個人財產權時。普萊姆的情況提醒我們,在加密貨幣的世界裡,擁有和管理數字資產的責任是多麼重要。隨著加密市場的發展,法律和規範的完善將成為未來的重要課題。

Add lotso and hamm Use the original face exactly as it is, without changing a details. A striking, high-fashion editorial portrait of a white -skinned model, captured outdoors with a bright, sunny, slightly hazy ambiance reminiscent of the late 1980s or early 1990s.
Model and Styling
• Model: A female model with elegant features and dark, curly hair, posed looking over her shoulder towards the camera. Her expression is confident and alluring.
• Outfit: She is wearing a two-piece outfit (or a playsuit/romper) entirely covered in black and white polka dots.
• Top: A loose, long-sleeved shirt, worn off one shoulder, showcasing the neckline. The polka dots on the shirt appear slightly smaller and more uniform.
• Bottom: Matching shorts or a skirt with a tight, fitted silhouette, emphasizing her figure. The polka dots here appear slightly denser.
• Hat: A defining accessory—a dramatically oversized sun hat with a wide, floppy brim. The crown is white, and the large, voluminous brim is patterned with large black and white polka dots, cascading down. A black fabric tie/ribbon is visible around the crown.
• Accessories: Large, circular or crescent-shaped gold earrings dangle from her ears.
Lighting and Setting
• Lighting: Natural, bright, direct sunlight creating a warm, sun-kissed, and slightly nostalgic aesthetic. The overall color palette leans towards desaturated pastels and warm creamy whites.
• Setting: She is positioned on a rooftop, terrace, or balcony, with a hazy, mountainous or coastal landscape visible in the blurred background. The background is predominantly soft blues and pale purples, suggesting a distant view over a city or ocean.
• Composition: A vertical, full-body to three-quarter shot. The model is the central focus, framed against the soft background.
Keywords/Style
• Style: High Fashion, Editorial, Retro, 90s Fashion, Resort Wear, Glamorous, Iconic.
• Vibe: Sophisticated, Sunny, Vacation Chic, Bold Pattern. Photorealistic recreation of the iconic grocery shopping scene from Home Alone, set on a snowy winter street in New York City with yellow taxis, steam rising from manholes, holiday lights on buildings, and pedestrians in the background. In the foreground, a man (his face is 100% same as the uploaded photo), smile gently, wearing a white sweater and a light beige scarf around his neck, is taking a selfie-style close-up photo. Behind him and slightly to the right, a young boy (recreated exactly like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone) with short blonde hair, wide-eyed surprised expression, wearing a red knit hat, red scarf, beige coat, gray gloves, holding two full plastic grocery bags (one with oranges visible, the other with a carton of milk and cereal boxes). The boy is standing on the snowy sidewalk looking shocked. Cinematic lighting, cold winter atmosphere, high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures on clothing and snow, film still style from 1990s holiday movie.
