A court order to freeze assets stored in an account on a cryptocurrency exchange in Tokyo could not be enforced, it was learned on June 13.
But the cryptocurrency exchange replied that the wallet was technically not managed by them and that they could not refund the victim.
Fujii, the attorney, commented that if the cryptocurrency exchange did not comply with the court order, the victim could “hardly” be relieved from the damage she suffered.
The cryptocurrency exchange told Nikkei that they consulted an advisory lawyer and recognized that there was a legal problem regarding the payment.
What do you think about the Tokyo exchange that couldn’t comply with a court order to close an account due to technical difficulties?
