However as the exchanges are visible it is easy to know the exact amount that has to be returned, therefore theft of such property has a clearly known value (plus damages) as if you kept a precise ledger. Said value thus does not have to be decided in court to be returned - the question is, do you have to return it in cash of choice or Bitcoin? The big question is how you find the responsible ransomer if they used a mixer, and whether mixer is culpable for not following KYC for big transaction amounts.
