Is there really anyone who dares to claim this 1.9 million? It's highly likely that it will be turned over to the national treasury!
1⃣ First, let's explain what "unclaimed assets" are—
These refer to seized properties that no one comes forward to claim, whose ownership cannot be confirmed, and for which no one can provide proof of legal origin.
For example, if law enforcement discovers a series of cold wallets, an exchange account, or a mnemonic phrase on a USB drive, and the suspect says it's not theirs, they are just holding it;
Then, if the original holder cannot be traced (due to on-chain anonymity and lack of real-name identification).
Such assets will first be "temporarily seized," and if no one comes to claim them after a 6-month announcement, they will be turned over to the national treasury as per regulations.
2⃣ So what proof must be provided to reclaim it?
1) Your identification proof
ID card, contact information, unrelated to the case, and with a legal source of identity, this is the most basic requirement.
2) The key point: proof of legal origin of the assets
This part is the most difficult, generally requiring—
① Transaction record chain, which must clarify:
Where this 1.9 million USDT came from
The wallet is yours → you hold the private key / have historical transactions
It’s best to have an upstream link (for example, your deposit records at the exchange)
On-chain verifiable = the hardest proof.
② Exchange transaction records / over-the-counter purchase records, common evidence includes:
Deposit records, withdrawal records, purchase records from Binance, OKX, Huobi, etc.
Screenshots of OTC transfers, chat records, order numbers
There must be a continuous funding source loop: bank → OTC → exchange → your wallet → this involved wallet
③ Proof of control over the private key/mnemonic phrase, law enforcement will usually require you to perform a signature verification to prove you have control over that address.
④ Proof unrelated to the case (very critical)
Law enforcement is most concerned about assets coming from: fraud, money laundering, gambling, theft of personal information, illegal operations.
So you need to prove that the source of funds is legal, not criminal proceeds, and not earnings from participating in a crime.
3⃣ Real-world difficulty: Why is it highly likely that no one will claim it?
To be honest, 99% of the time, no one will come forward to claim such announcements.
Most people doing U business domestically probably do not dare to provide upstream sources—
Either the upstream is gray income, one address layered over another;
Or they are all involved in money laundering, water houses, collection and payment agents, the entire chain is sensitive funds;
Or they have very sensitive identities and are unwilling to expose themselves.
For the vast majority of people related to such schemes, claiming is essentially equivalent to walking into a trap.
