This was disclosed by Evgeny Akimov, head of the Enforcement and Bankruptcy Department at Sberbank, as reported by <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.vedomosti.ru\/finance\/articles\/2023\/11\/20\/1006583-inostrannie-kriptobirzhi-pomogayut-bankrotit-rossiyan\\\">\u00abVedomosti\u00bb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>In particular, the cooperation has been established with the Dubai-based Bybit, the European Bitstamp, the Singapore-based Bitrue, the American Gate.io, and OKX, registered on the Seychelles. The platforms inform the managers about their clients&#8217; crypto wallets and their addresses.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>Akimov noted that some of them provide information on request in free form, others request official requests, including from law enforcement agencies, a third group \u2014 only when there is a court decision translated into English, others \u2014 request additional information.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\"><p>\\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00abOfficial requests from a state agency can be obtained from the bailiffs\u00bb, \u2014 Akimov is quoted by <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.interfax.ru\/business\/930928\\\">\u00abInterfax\u00bb<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>Courts may compel a debtor to provide the manager with the login and password to access the cryptocurrency wallet, but sometimes the person provides incorrect data. To avoid such a situation, the court may order the bankrupt to access the wallet in the presence of a notary, said arbitration manager Ilya Ulyanov.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>One of the problems in the collection process is the withdrawal of identified digital assets. However, for some exchanges, such as Coinbase, there is a proprietary procedure in place.<\/p>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\"><p>\\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00abThe arbitration manager confirms his powers by a court order; assets are frozen, the manager opens his wallet and transfers the debtor\u2019s funds there, converts them and then transfers to the main account [for settlements with creditors],\u00bb \u2014 Ul&#8217;yanov described.<\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\\n\\n\\n\\n<\/p>\n<p>At Akimov\u2019s suggestion, arbitration managers should be allowed to independently sell cryptocurrencies on exchanges with fiat withdrawals, in line with the overseas disposal of assets.
