2025年11月初，37歲商人蘇炳海因其龐大資產及涉案背景，再度成為國際執法焦點。根據英國國家打擊犯罪調查局（NCA）的消息，蘇炳海在倫敦購置的九套豪華公寓、數百萬英鎊的稀有恐龍化石以及一批中國藝術品，已被英國當局依據《犯罪收益法》沒收。這項法律允許當局在無刑事定罪的情況下，追討被認定為非法所得的財產。NCA並未公開蘇炳海相關案件的具體指控細節，但此舉仍引發國際金融與收藏界的廣泛關注。

此次被查扣的恐龍化石包括兩具異特龍（Allosaurus）和一具劍龍（Stegosaurus）骨架，這些化石均屬侏羅紀時期，距今約1.5億年，曾於去年佳士得拍賣會以1240萬英鎊（約2122.5萬新元）成交，拍賣照片顯示骨架與自然歷史博物館的展品極為相似，價值極高。除此之外，被沒收的還有11件中國藝術品，這些藝術品在2022年的拍賣會上成交總價超過40萬英鎊（約68萬4752新元）。根據法院命令，變賣追回資產所得的四分之一收益將匯入蘇炳海指定的銀行帳戶。

蘇炳海此前已涉及新加坡30億元洗錢案。2023年8月15日，新加坡警方展開大規模搜捕行動當天，蘇炳海及其妻子即離境，之後再未返回新加坡。2024年10月9日，他與妻子同意交出總值約3億1660萬元新元的資產，其中包括四輛豪車，價值約836萬4297元。同時，蘇炳海被禁止入境新加坡。

此次英國沒收行動，不僅凸顯國際社會對跨境金融犯罪及洗錢活動的嚴厲打擊，也暴露高淨值個人透過海外房產、藝術品與古生物收藏等方式轉移資產的手法。蘇炳海在倫敦的九套公寓、價值數百萬英鎊的恐龍骨架以及中國藝術品的被查扣，象徵著國際司法合作在追蹤與追回犯罪收益方面的實際成效，也提醒全球富豪和金融中介機構，跨境資產操作若涉及非法所得，將面臨多國聯合執法的風險。

In early November 2025, 37-year-old businessman Su Binghai became the focus of international law enforcement after authorities in the United Kingdom seized a significant portion of his assets in London. According to the UK National Crime Agency (NCA), nine luxury apartments purchased by Su, alongside rare dinosaur fossils worth several million pounds and a collection of Chinese artworks, were confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act. This law allows authorities to recover assets deemed to be illegally obtained, even in the absence of a criminal conviction. The NCA has not disclosed the specific charges against Su, but the case has attracted wide attention across international finance and collectibles markets.

Among the seized fossils were two Allosaurus skeletons and one Stegosaurus skeleton, all dating back to the Jurassic period, approximately 150 million years ago. These specimens had been auctioned at Christie’s last year for £12.4 million (≈SGD 21.22 million). Auction photos showed that the skeletons closely resembled exhibits in natural history museums. Additionally, 11 Chinese artworks were confiscated, which had sold for over £400,000 (≈SGD 684,752) at a 2022 auction. Under court orders, one-quarter of the proceeds from the sale of the seized assets will be transferred to a bank account designated by Su.

Su Binghai had previously been implicated in a SGD 3 billion money laundering case in Singapore. On August 15, 2023, the day Singapore authorities launched a large-scale raid, Su and his wife left the country and never returned. On October 9, 2024, they agreed to surrender assets totaling approximately SGD 316.6 million, including four luxury vehicles worth around SGD 8.36 million, and Su was banned from entering Singapore.

The UK seizure highlights the international community’s stringent measures against cross-border financial crime and money laundering. It also exposes the methods by which high-net-worth individuals move assets through overseas real estate, art, and paleontological collections. The confiscation of Su’s London apartments, multi-million-pound dinosaur fossils, and Chinese artworks demonstrates the effectiveness of international judicial cooperation in recovering illicit proceeds, while sending a clear warning to global elites and financial intermediaries: cross-border asset operations involving illicit gains face significant risk of multi-jurisdictional enforcement.
