加密骗局是全球各国政府的痛处。它涉及巨额资金，而且随着技术的进步，欺诈者在该计划背后采用的技巧也在不断进步。
英国当局已下令关闭涉及加密相关欺诈的两家公司。当局表示，对这两家公司的调查显示，他们的账户被用于价值 130 万英镑的加密骗局。
根据 Micasa 的一项调查，从 2019 年 2 月开始运营到 2020 年 12 月，Micasa 的账户流量约为 130 万英镑破产服务。
“Micasa 及其关联公司 Remultex 在无法解释巨额付款和滥用反弹贷款后被迫停止运营，”新闻公告部分表示。
曼彻斯特高等法院法官裁定，为了保护公众，有必要关闭参与加密骗局的公司。
根据判决，这些公司违反了贸易法，并且在没有商业“诚信”的情况下经营，导致非法汇款。
破产服务处首席调查员戴维·霍普 (David Hope) 对这一行动做出了反应，称将采取措施收集和清算公司资产，并将其返还给债权人。
到 2020 年 12 月，除了从 Micasa 获得的反弹贷款资金外，Remultex 还从另外三家公司收到了总计约 250,000 英镑的付款。
在过去的一年中，加密货币的采用呈指数级增长。尽管扩张迅速，但与比特币行业相关的犯罪活动仍在激增。
加密货币的使用比以往任何时候都更快地扩展。 2021 年，与 2020 年相比，Chainalysis 追踪的所有加密货币的总交易量增长了 567%，达到 15.8 万亿美元。
《财富》杂志今年 1 月报道称，2021 年，参与加密骗局的犯罪分子窃取了创纪录的 140 亿美元加密货币，比上一年增长了近 80%。
根据 Chainalysis 的数据，去年使用非法地址的交易仅占加密货币交易总量的 0.15%，尽管犯罪交易量的价值达到了历史最高水平。
执法机构已采取措施打击这些非法活动并保护英国投资者的安全。
与此同时，香港是加密货币爱好者数量最多的国家之一。
根据最新报告，今年繁华金融区的加密货币欺诈数量大幅增加。这些欺诈行为中约有四分之一包括加密资产。
