Russian court says that bitcoin theft is not a crime?

[Bruno52 1141]

I think that the Russian court has decided to allow bitcoin theft so as to discourage its citizens from using it and this may work as if somebody invests their time trading crypto currencies to make a profit and it gets stolen, that person cannot report the crime to the police.

This is something that surprises you, I think that for a country to be able to accept cryptos in their country and also charge taxes for this, they should protect their citizens because there is a lot of danger when using cryptos, if a country legalizes something they should also protect their citizens.

Well, I can't catigorically  say that the judge is wrong but still yet, I think it's a crime to stole someone hard work, so may be after some reviews and opinion checks, then the judge might reverse his verdict, because cryptocurrecy theft is definitely a crime.

On the 30th of June 20202, a Russian court diverted down a solicitation from a victim of a 100 Bitcoin robbery looking for compensation, with the court contending that digital forms of money have no legitimate status. The court says that bitcoin, as a digital currency, does not enjoy the same property protection as other assets.

The case returns to 2018, when the two men imitating Federal Security Service (FSB) specialists and their associates seized the person in question and constrained him into giving them 5 million rubles or $90,000 in real money and 99.7 BTC — worth about $900,000 at that point. The criminals were condemned to eight-and ten-year jail sentences.

The casualty may in any case attempt his case in a civil court. Despite any future legitimate procedures, this court choice is wonderful — basically, it proclaimed that Bitcoin burglary isn't a wrongdoing.

A very bad decision to think that it is not a crime, sure if it were your money if you would say that if it is a crime in order to recover the BTC, but since it belongs to someone else you prefer not to help, when these things can always be recovered and when it is followed enough, now this is unfortunate to know but I know that one day it will have the support it deserves when suffering a cryptocurrency theft.

[Ameralsamt 2558]

In my opinion, dear, the right with them is not a crime, because cryptocurrencies and encryption are essentially decentralized, which is not subject to any country or any authority, which is free, so the courts have nothing to do with the criminalization of the thief. 

[Nersreem 279]

There is no security in cryptoworld which can't shows or track transactions in cryptoworld. Those that we're victim of theft in cryptoworld will take the risk

since a declaration of ownership may be required of him, and how can he declare something that he currently does not possess?

Maybe this case will be re open again for the furthermore  research  about this bitcoin stole case if russian government  serious about crypto currrency  and bitcoin..  But the main thing is every  one need to care their own assets because its hard to collect prove from crypto world.. 

[Ajhar6 185]

I think, that’s how the court can’t take action to recover 100btc damages.  And I wonder why they don’t consider Bitcoin as legal property and they are just promoting BTC theft.  Since someone can show arms and ask you to send BTC and it is also legal?  Why work and earn if you can rob someone else of BTC?  XD

  Of course if appropriate action is not taken and the lawsuits in the courts rely on the same old cases and decisions as in the past, it will create chaos in the Russian crypto market and increase such cases in the future.  The Russians should speak out against this unjust decision by the government.

[M.Asif 499]

I think this is injustice with bitcoin users, instead court should made laws to protect crypto currency. As it will gain great popularity in future. Also can became good source of income in shape of taxes. So when there are no rules about crypto safety then hackers find a good opportunity to hack your bitcoins and steal all you have. In addition to this nowadays you have to protect your bitcoins yourself.

In the past and even today, it has not been recognized that Bitcoin is a truly legitimate currency in order to incriminate those who steal it, as it is linked to international recognition.

[abohasnn9 2401]

My friend, the idea of theft is a crime, whether it is for Bitcoin or anything else. Whatever is stolen electronically is stolen on the ground, but perhaps the court’s view is that Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, so we do not steal money for people in general, i.e. a decentralized manipulation of a particular country. Thank you.

[Jack764 1841]

Theft of anything of value is considered a crime of theft, as you do not have to take it from another person, and this matter is never illegal and is the same as stealing money

[RoyalHouse01 9]

it is obvious when they are not stating the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency a kind of money and they have banned it than they will never the stealing of it a crime.

[yulitzacalvete 1366]

I think that the theft of cryptocurrencies is a crime like any other so I see this as something unfair, but I know that if it is achieved it is to catch thieves therefore it is not possible to recover money through cryptocurrencies if you can catch thieves alone who do not want to support those who are robbed to solve the problem.

Dude digital currencies have their some existences and people dealing them so if any crime occur in it then there should be punishment for it by the court but I think they don't do anything because they don't have any physical appearance and documentation. 

[teebasas 3018]

In fact, governments did not first accept Bitcoin's validity until they protected it, so governments will not protect these digital currencies until they acknowledge them officially, and no litigation can be brought against people who steal currencies.

[Edwinvicky 819]

Is like the court is encouraging more bitcoin stealing, more crypto scamming, and fake projects in crypto world. This is not ok at all to we legit hustlers and to the entire crypto community.

[Hadelo 338]

There are many countries that warn against dealing with and trading cryptocurrencies for fear of the deterioration of their currency, so they forbid dealing with them and expressing a robbery

[Dadouasaad123 902]

I agree with you, I think that this matter is one of the main differences between cryptocurrencies and digital currencies, where when digital currencies are stolen, thieves are punished through the law, in cryptocurrencies there is no law by which fraudsters are held accountable, so we have to protect our money ourselves, because there is no one who can  Take back our right.

[chris smith 950]

It is very bad decision but i think it will be edited later and the court will fix it when the bitcoin will be as a main currency so i wish that will happen soon.
