UK police to auction confiscated Bitcoins

-

英国警方将在本周拍卖被逮捕罪犯持有的比特币,这将是该国的首次尝试。
根据本月早些时候发布的公告,爱尔兰拍卖行威尔逊拍卖行将负责此次拍卖。新闻稿确认,拍卖将于9月25日开始,威尔逊将不设置最低保留价,据报道将全部以最高出价卖出。
据报道,拍卖的比特币价值约为50万英镑(66.2万美元)。警方据称从一名参与非法销售个人数据并提供黑客服务给多个犯罪团伙以加密货币付款的罪犯那里查获了这批赃物。
声明还称,其他资产,包括以太坊和瑞波币,也将在本周拍卖。
根据公告,两天的拍卖将出售从0.25比特币到2比特币(约为4200美元到16800美元)不等的批次。周三的销售将完全在线进行,而周四的销售将同时向线上和线下竞标者开放。周四还将拍卖其他被查获的物品(如豪华手表、汽车和珠宝)。
希望参加拍卖的人需要提供护照或驾照的复印件,以及居住地址的有效证明。
尽管这是英国警方首次拍卖比特币,但政府从罪犯手中查获的比特币再售并不罕见。
今年2月,威尔逊拍卖行帮助比利时政府出售了约315比特币(当时价值约310万美元),这些比特币也是从黑暗网络上的毒品贩子那里查获的。在公告中,拍卖公司将整批比特币定价为30万英镑。
至于美国,拍卖比特币在那里已经司空见惯。早在2015年,美国政府就开始通过拍卖查获的比特币赚钱。当年,政府宣布将出售约2700个比特币(当时价值约160万美元),其中大部分是从与黑暗网络平台“丝绸之路”有关的犯罪分子那里查获的。
2019年1月11日,美国司法部的美国法警局宣布将拍卖约3800个比特币(当时价值约3000万美元)。
尽管最初计划出售3800个比特币,但最终只售出3600个,因为法警局将无法达到目标归咎于“技术问题”。所有有意竞标者都需要支付20万美元的押金,并完成注册程序。到2月份,比特币最终转移到五个中标者手中,其中之一是Riot Blockchain。
从政府购买比特币可能不是许多人想象中进入加密货币领域的方式,但考虑到注册时可以获得的显著折扣,这也不失为一个不错的选择。
