Kerajaan diperintah kembalikan 497.82 bitcoin kepada 9 mangsa penipuan
Mahkamah Tinggi berkata mangsa ditipu dua lelaki untuk melabur dalam satu skim yang janjikan pulangkan 1% sehari.
Kuala Lumpur High Court has ordered the Malaysian government to return 497.82 bitcoin, valued at USD17.6 million based on 2023 estimates, to nine individuals who were deceived in a fraudulent investment scheme promising daily returns of 1%. The stolen bitcoin originated from two crypto wallets linked to Fadino Khairuman and Asyran Ismail.
Judge Arief Emran Arifin approved the claim of the nine individuals who deposited a total of 362.04 bitcoin into Bitkingdom's wallet between 2015 and 2016 after being lured by Fadino. The bitcoin was subsequently moved from Bitkingdom's wallet to Fadino and Asyran's wallets. Arief found that the nine individuals successfully proved they were deceived by the two men, who made false representations about the daily returns promised.
He stated that the claiming party did not borrow the bitcoin from the respondents and did not seek any debt. They claim the bitcoin was obtained through deception and that the bitcoin, or whatever it has been replaced with, still belongs to them. Each claiming party provided evidence, based on odds assessment, that they deposited the claimed amount of bitcoin into Bitkingdom and had a valid legal interest in the stolen assets.
The court ordered that 497.82 bitcoin be returned to the nine individuals, with each receiving between 0.68% and 11.7% of the total depending on their individual deposit amounts. The claimants are Afkar Lotfi Adam, Alfiyanora Nursal, Faridah Rawi, Khairullutfi Nursal, Alif Bassari, Nazlulfarid Ramlan, Nurafiqah Che Azmi, Siti Farhana Mohamed, and Khizanif Khizan.
