British police disclosed the arrest footage of Qian Zhimin, the Bitcoin-rich woman, who was captured in bed. Previously, she fled to the UK with nearly 50 billion yuan worth of Bitcoin and pleaded guilty in court in the UK's 'largest Bitcoin money laundering case.' Qian Zhimin's sentencing outcome will be announced soon.
On October 30 of this year, the Hedong branch of the Tianjin Public Security Bureau released a situation report: On April 21, 2017, the Hedong branch of the Tianjin Public Security Bureau initiated an investigation into the Tianjin Lantian Ge Rui Company for illegal public deposit solicitation, with the main suspect, Qian Zhimin, fleeing to the UK. The Tianjin Public Security authorities and UK law enforcement agencies have conducted in-depth international cooperation in pursuing fugitives and recovering assets. On September 29, the Southwark Court in London held a hearing on the money laundering charges against Qian Zhimin, where she pleaded guilty in court.
Qian Zhimin used illegally raised funds to purchase 61,000 Bitcoins and then fled to the UK. In 2018, Qian Zhimin attracted the attention of UK authorities when she attempted to buy a mansion with Bitcoin, leading to the freezing of the 61,000 Bitcoins. After nearly six years on the run, she was arrested in April last year.
The sentencing hearing held on the 10th of this month at the Southwark Court in London revealed Qian Zhimin's extravagant lifestyle, including purchasing expensive jewelry and spending £120,000 on two luxury watches at once. Prosecutor Gillian Jones stated at the sentencing hearing that after arriving in the UK, Qian Zhimin traveled extensively around Europe and frequently stayed in high-end hotels. Reports indicate that Qian Zhimin was very cautious, primarily traveling by self-driving. #币圈现状 $BTC
