Abstract

This study focuses on the legal concept of virtual money, focusing on the case of how we can change the framework of fixed thinking about our trade concept and money with the fourth industrial revolution. The legal character of the virtual money, which played a role as a means of trading in crime, could be discussed, and the court could put it in the category of " property " as a subject of confiscation. Many people are expressing empathy for the fact that there will be many traits in the future world that are difficult to predict. At this side, when the legal validity of the advantage is not recognized as the legal money yet to be recognized as the legal currency, it begins to be discussed as a necessary means of trading between individuals, businesses and individuals. Defining a legal character can be very significant in determining policy direction related to future operations of virtual money. But to date, it is very difficult to establish the legal character of virtual money through existing legislation. Therefore, as we looked at in this case, we examined whether the property was subject to the seizure of the profits from the crime. Attention was also given to the possibility of such abuse of virtual money and whether effective legal interpretation was possible for the categories of assets subject to seizure.
