Claims by investors to recover £3.8bn of Bitcoin held by the Metropolitan Police are governed by Chinese law
Chinese investors who fell victim to a high-profile Ponzi scheme have been attempting to recover over £3.8 billion of Bitcoin currently held by the Metropolitan Police. The investors asserted an English law proprietary interest over the Bitcoin in Director of Public Prosecutions v Qian & Anor [2026] EWHC 2509 (KB). However, the English High Court found that any such proprietary claims are governed by Chinese law, demonstrating the limits to the English Courts’ developing arsenal of remedies to assist victims of fraud.
