🚨Chinese woman scammed $6.3 billion to buy 61,000 BTC and fled to the UK!
A Chinese woman named Zhang Yadi, or Qian Zhimin, took $6.3 billion from 130,000 investors from mainland China.
Then she was recently prosecuted by the UK for three counts of money laundering.
Fraudster Zhang Yadi (real name Qian Zhimin) stole 5 billion pounds ($6.34 billion) from unsuspecting investors in China between 2014 and 2017 through a fake wealth management program, which was converted into Bitcoin.
In 2017, Qian Zhimin arrived in the UK on a fake St. Kitts and Nevis passport, when Chinese authorities had begun investigating the fraud. Qian hid from Chinese authorities as Zhang Yadi.
Police arrested another Chinese woman, Jian Wen, who arrived in the UK in 2007 and became a British citizen in 2018.
Jian Wen helped Zhang exchange some of the Bitcoin for property, cash, jewelry and other luxury goods.
In 2018, Jianwen also tried to buy a London property worth £12.5 million for Zhang through a law firm, but the deal fell through because the firm could not determine the source of the Bitcoin.
In 2018, the London Police seized four separate devices containing more than 61,000 BTC in a safe and a property where Jian and Zhang lived at the time.
In 2021, when police cracked the Bitcoins, the cryptocurrency was worth £1.4 billion ($1.77 billion), one of the largest seizures in the world. At today's prices, it is $2.6 billion.
While Jianwen's trial is still ongoing, Zhang has fled the UK.
But Jianwen, 42, pleaded not guilty, saying she thought Zhang's Bitcoin was obtained from a legitimate source.
Prosecutors said Jian should have known that Zhang's money was obtained illegally, for example, she was unwilling to travel to a country with which China has an extradition treaty.
China and the UK do not have an extradition agreement.
The strange thing is that it is said that Qian Zhimin has been wanted by us. We changed our account number to Qian Zhimin, Qian Zhimin, Qian Zhimin, Qian Zhimin... but we didn't find this case. One person took away 6.3 billion US dollars!
Continue to be optimistic about Ethereum chain puppies, you can pay more attention to it!
