A U.S. federal court has recognized the validity of using information contained in Bitcoin transactions to inform defendants of civil lawsuits. This case, believed to be the first time this method has been accepted, could help solve hundreds of cases of cryptocurrency theft where the identity of the attacker is unknown.

A federal court upheld the use of Bitcoin Op Returns to provide services to defendants.

Bitcoin is beginning to be accepted as a means of communication in civil litigation. A federal court has recognized the validity of using Bitcoin transaction information to notify unidentified defendants of their participation in civil lawsuits. The case, cited by the security portal Krebsonsecurity as the first time this medium has been adopted for this task, could help expedite similar actions where it is impractical or impossible to provide services to the accused.

The case involves the theft of cryptocurrency derived from a SIM swap from Ryan Dellone, a California-based healthcare worker who had $100,000 worth of cryptocurrency stolen from his Coinbase account in December 2021. In December, a federal court approved Bitcoin’s use of Op-Return. This is a field where you can enter information to notify the attacker of the incident.

This was possible because Dellone’s lawyer, Ethan Mora, and a team of cryptocurrency researchers were able to trace the movement of funds to a Bitcoin wallet. Dellone has been informed that the Bitcoin addresses are part of an ongoing investigation into a cryptocurrency theft ring, and although he does not know which party currently controls these funds, he has received permission from a judge to serve the addresses. Federal court in California.

The message included a transaction sending $100 to a wallet address and a link to a copy of the lawsuit hosted on a Google Drive server. Mark Rasch, a former federal prosecutor at the U.S. Department of Justice, said:

Courts are adapting to a new style of process service, and this is helpful, useful, and necessary.

However, not everyone agrees on the validity of this procedure. Bitcoin Core developer Peter Todd declared:

This is a terrible way to serve someone. I don’t know of any wallet that displays OP_Return information for incoming transactions.
