According to Bloomberg, Qian Zhimin (also known as Zhang Yadi), the main culprit in the UK's 60,000 bitcoin money laundering case and Tianjin Lantian Ge Rui's 43 billion yuan illegal fundraising case, was arrested in April this year and charged with two counts of money laundering. The UK Criminal Prosecution Service accused her of holding and transferring illegal cryptocurrencies on or before April 23. A man, Seng Hok Ling, was charged with her and pleaded not guilty to a charge of participating in a money laundering arrangement knowing or suspecting that it was criminal property.

The trial is scheduled to begin at Southwark Crown Court on September 29, 2025. "Ms. Zhang denies all criminal charges and plans to vigorously defend herself," her lawyer said after the trial.
