CFAAR committee members Charlotte Hill and Dan Wyatt speak to CoinGeek
CFAAR committee members Charlotte Hill and Dan Wyatt speak with James Field of CoinGeek in an in-depth feature exploring barriers to recovering digital assets and how the English courts are pioneering this field.
Charlotte comments: "In terms of actually seeking to recover the asset, if it's in, for example, a centralized wallet, it is more often than not possible, as long as that exchange or whoever is holding the wallet is willing to play ball with you."
Dan adds:
