- Businessman Ping Fai Yuen is suing his estranged wife, Fun Yung Li, alleging she stole up to £180m worth of Bitcoin from him.
- Mr Yuen claims his wife secretly filmed him entering his cryptocurrency passwords at their family home in August 2023 to gain access to his 'cold wallet'.
- He later installed audio recording equipment, which he claims captured his wife discussing the Bitcoin and transferring it to other addresses.
- High Court documents reveal Mr Justice Cotter stated Mr Yuen has a 'very high probability of success' in his claim, describing the audio recordings as 'damning'.
- Mr Yuen is seeking the return of the Bitcoin or its equivalent value, along with a worldwide freezing order on the crypto assets of his estranged wife and sister-in-law.
