The Pechersk District Court in Kiev, Ukraine, has ruled to hand over virtual assets seized in a major fraud and illegal gambling investigation to the State Agency for Asset Recovery and Management (ARMA). The assets involved came from a digital wallet registered on the crypto exchange Binance, owned by a Ukrainian national (ОСОБА_ 6), suspected of money laundering through unlicensed platforms such as rollbit.com. The total amount of seized assets exceeded 500 million hryvnia, far exceeding the regulatory threshold.
The assets cover multiple cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Solana, and Tether (USDT), distributed across multiple sub-accounts linked to Binance's master user ID. The total amount of the various cryptocurrencies seized exceeds 500 million hryvnia, well beyond the national regulatory threshold stipulated by Ukrainian law. The court's judgment also requires Binance, registered as Nest Services Limited in the Seychelles, to execute the transfer of the assets and cooperate with the Ukrainian authorities. ARMA expects to sell the assets through an official electronic auction platform to fulfill its duties of managing the seized property and returning its value to the state budget.
