Zhimin Qian, a 47-year-old woman, was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in prison for money laundering, being involved in a massive fraud that generated losses of 40 billion yuan in China. After fleeing China with a fake passport, Qian managed to amass a huge fortune in Bitcoin, possessing 61,279 Bitcoins, confiscated following an investigation that led to the largest cryptocurrency seizure in the UK.

The police discovered her in 2022, after she attempted to buy a luxury villa using money derived from cryptocurrencies. Qian was described as the "architect" of the fraud scheme, having an extravagant lifestyle. In court, she pleaded guilty and expressed regret for the suffering of the victims. Now, her fortune is the subject of a legal dispute between the British government and the victims in China, who are seeking compensation.
