Wayne Murry v Persons Unknown & Anor

Wayne Murry v Persons Unknown & Anor

The Claimant demonstrated a realistically arguable basis for joinder of Mr. Orogun and Simple Systems LLC as named Defendants, as assets stolen from the Claimant were traceable to wallets controlled by them. There is no evidence they are bona fide purchasers for value without notice. The risk of dissipation persists, justifying continuation of proprietary and worldwide freezing orders.
