In 2021, more than a million euros worth of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies disappeared.

What followed was not only an investigation into the theft, but a years-long legal battle that crossed borders, challenged traditional legal principles and tested whether decentralised technology could still be held accountable in a centralised world.

The Bitcoin Robbery is the true story of one of the earliest successful cryptocurrency recovery cases before the English High Court.

This website accompanies the book. Here you will find background information, a timeline of the case, selected court documents and other material supporting the events described in the story.

One of the principles of Bitcoin is simple:

Don't trust. Verify.
