The D’Aloia v. Persons Unknown judgment in the UK High Court is too significant for a single episode. Today, we begin a four-part exploration of the UK High Court’s first full trial involving a crypto-fraud claim. We start by examining the court’s findings in bridging the gap between equity and code, ruling that USDT attracts property rights. However, we also introduce the evidentiary threshold that the claimant failed to hit. This episode sets the stage for our upcoming sessions, where we will audit the tracing methodologies, the legal nature of property, and the high bar for establishing a constructive trust over digital assets.
