近期，美国司法部门对陈志提起刑事指控，太子集团进入多事之秋，在美国、英国、新加坡等地的诸多资产遭冻结。不过，这些资产的价值与此前被美国没 收的比特币相比显得微不足道，12.7万枚比特币的市值一度超过1000亿元人民币，按照现在75万元/枚的单价计算也高达950亿元。 比特币作为加密货币的典型代表，凭借去中心化特性、匿名交易机制和高强度加密算法，长期被视为难以追踪和截获的"数字黄金"，这也使其成为跨国犯罪 资金转移的首选载体。然而，陈志集团所持的巨额比特币资产最终仍落入美国司法部门之手，其过程既充满技术争议，又裹挟着复杂的政治博弈。 国家计算机病毒应急处理中心近期发布的《LuBian矿池遭黑客攻击被窃取巨额比特币事件技术溯源分析报告》，如同一把钥匙，揭开了这起看似普通盗窃案 背后隐藏的深层逻辑。 报告显示，美国对陈志集团资产的觊觎早有伏笔。2020年12月，陈志和太子集团存放比特币的LuBian矿池遭遇突发性网络攻击，攻击者通过技术漏洞在极短 时间内转移走12.7万枚比特币。 这种反常的"沉睡"状态与常规财产犯罪逻辑相悖。通常情况下，盗窃者会迅速拆分资产、通过混币平台洗白或兑换法定货币以实现收益最大化。而此处比 ...

526 亿元， 6.1 万枚 比特币 ， 12.8 万名受害者，跨越中英两国、改英国籍潜逃七年——这不是影视剧，而是真实发生的英国最大加密货币" 洗 钱案" 。 2025 年 11 月 11 日，英国南华克刑事法院宣判，现年47岁的"比特币女王"钱志敏因 洗钱罪 （具体为"拥有犯罪财产"和"转移犯罪财产"两项罪 名），被判处 " 11 年 8 个月监禁 " 。 值得注意的是， 钱志敏是通过在天津注册的"蓝天格锐信息科技有限公司"骗取公众资金，国内认定 钱志敏涉嫌 非法吸收公众存款罪 （简称"非吸 罪"）。 "非吸罪"与 洗钱罪相比，二者的严重程度需结合具体案情判断，但若情节相当，非吸罪的刑罚通常更重。 从 2014 年天 津蓝天格锐的"科技理财"骗局，到 2017 年伪造护照潜逃英国，再到 2024 年在约克被捕， 出生于江苏如皋，取得专科学历却号 称可以给你"三世富贵"的钱志敏， 用七年时间演绎了从财富神话到阶下囚的完整循环。 这起案件，不仅创下英国史上最大规模比特币洗钱纪录，也 因为跨境追偿，而 让中英两国的司法体系首次在虚拟资产领域正面 "交锋" 。 而此刻， 6.1 万枚比特币的去向、 12.8 万名 ...

英国司法机构表示，在调查过程中与中方密切合作。"毫无疑问，这是我们迄今为止开展的最大规模、 最复杂的经济犯罪调查之一，如果没有与皇家检察院、国家打击犯罪局和中国执法部门合作伙伴的密切 合作，今天的判决是不可能实现的。"伦敦市长萨迪克汗还就此案发声说，"加密货币诈骗金额高达数十 亿美元，助长了国际洗钱活动，并扶持了有组织犯罪团伙，因此我欢迎伦敦警察厅的这一重大干预行 动。" 法新社披露细节称，钱志敏被指控2014年至2017年间在天津经营一家公司，以高达300%回报率诱骗投 资者参与所谓的"理财计划"。这实为一场以新投资者资金支付旧投资者回报的庞氏骗局。案发后，她于 2017年以假身份潜逃英国，将部分赃款兑换为比特币、珠宝和现金。 法新社称，钱志敏在出庭时情绪激动，在听到判决时一度落泪。她的律师表示，当事人"接受判决"，并 对造成的痛苦"深感歉意"。法官黑尔斯在庭上斥责被告"动机纯属贪婪"，"你在整个计划中扮演核心角 色，这是一项极度复杂、需要精心筹划的犯罪行为"。 英国警方从2018年开始注意到钱志敏。《每日电讯报》称，当时，钱志敏以她助理的名义，试图在伦敦 购买一套价值1250万英镑的住宅，这引起当局怀疑。 ...
