The core of Ms. Ho’s defense is that Jason Teo, her maternal cousin, stole the Crypto Asset from ByBit without her knowledge. She did not receive or benefit from them as the Wallets associated with the four Addresses are owned and controlled by Jason alone.

Part 5

While some people are sceptical of the value of crypto assets, it is worth keeping in mind that value is not inherent in an object. While we speak of expensive materials, with gold being more valuable than wood, this is a judgment made by an aggregate of human minds. It is also a judgment that varies with circumstances. A wooden chair that can float is more valuable on a ship that is sinking than a golden throne would be.

雖然有些人對加密資產的價值持懷疑態度，但值得記住的是，價值並不是物體固有的特性。當我們談到昂貴的物品時，黃金比木材更有價值，這是人類集體的判斷。這種價值判斷會隨著情況而變化。在一艘正在下沉的船上，一張可以漂浮的木椅比一個金王座更有價值。

sceptica（英）、skeptical（美） 懷疑的，多疑的

inherent 固有的，內在的

judgment 判斷

aggregate 合計，總計

circumstance 情況

sink 下沉

throne 王座，寶座
