UK High Court 'Qian Zhimin 60,000 BTC' civil recovery case: First procedural hearing of the New Year, further discussions on bankruptcy liquidation impact may take place on 2/16-17.

This hearing did not make substantive rulings on asset ownership or compensation plans; the judge focused on 'who represents the many Chinese victims' and the potential risk of 'agency proliferation.' Subsequent hearings are scheduled for February 16-17, which may provide further guidance on civil recovery arrangements in light of the bankruptcy liquidation process.
