In 2025, there is an awkward situation in the encryption circle - cross-border dirty money has been seized by overseas law enforcement, but the victims have not received a penny back.
The cases of Qian Zhimin and Chen Zhi are very typical; the funds involved have indeed been frozen by overseas institutions, but this money is stuck in a gray area, neither returned to the rightful owners nor entering the normal judicial recovery process. In simple terms, the money has been traced, and the people have been caught, but the group that should receive the money is still waiting for news.
This dilemma of "excessive law enforcement and insufficient recovery of stolen assets" exposes many gaps that need to be filled in the cross-border encryption asset disposal mechanism.

The money was tracked down and the person was caught, but the victim still hasn't seen a dime. This is really absurd.

Laughing to death, when the money is caught, no one dares to move, this is the "Schrodinger's asset" of the crypto world.
Law enforcement: We are very professional.
Victim: Then what about my money?
Law enforcement: It's with me.
Victim: When will you give it back?
Law enforcement: Well... it’s longer than waiting for a bull run.
Cross-border asset recovery, to put it simply, is that law enforcement in various countries is very capable, but when it comes to handover, they start playing tricks. Anyway, the money is with me, come and take it, but you can’t come, haha.
One day in the crypto world is like a year of rights protection; waiting for the money to go home will have to wait until the next bull run.

The money was chased down and the person was also caught, but the victim is still waiting. Isn't this just Schrödinger's recovery of stolen goods? If I had known that cross-border law enforcement was so disappointing, why was I so eager to go all in back then?

This is ridiculous, the money has been recovered but no one has received it, cross-border asset recovery is truly a bottomless pit.

The money was tracked down, the person was caught, but the victim still has no money. Isn't that ridiculous? This area of cross-border transactions is indeed a legal vacuum.

The money was tracked down and the person was caught, but in the end, the victim still didn't see a penny. This script is really something!
