The case of non-return of crypto has gone through several instances - the plaintiff claims that he lent the defendant 313,008 USDT, but he did not repay the debt. As evidence, he provided an inspection report of his phone with a Trust Wallet wallet and correspondence on WhatsApp.
The defendant stated that the wallet to which the cryptocurrency was received does not belong to him, and he does not know with whom the correspondence was conducted. The court rejected the plaintiff's claims, and he filed an appeal.
The appellate instance acknowledged the fact of the transfer of cryptocurrency, but did not provide evidence of the legal receipt of funds by the defendant. Nevertheless, the court decided to recover the declared amount from the defendant, but the case was still sent for a new trial to the appellate court.
The Supreme Court, in turn, obliged other courts to verify the ownership of crypto wallets in cases of return of crypto.#MemeWatch2024
