"summary",
"The recovery was made possible through a collaboration between police, legal firms, and professional services company Grant Thornton. The police used the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, which was amended in October 2023 to include a new section on crypto-related fraud. The victim, known as Mr. A, had sent 9.1 BTC to fraudsters posing as exchange operators, which was converted into USDT and sent to an overseas exchange. A UK court ordered the repatriation of the defrauded crypto, making it the first time the law has been used in this way."
