Caixin: Qian Zhimin's 10 billion bitcoin money laundering case is scheduled for trial on September 29, and there is currently no substantive progress in the civil path

According to an article published by Caixin, the Southwark Crown Court is about to once again become the focus of the Chinese and British legal community and media attention. More details of Qian Zhimin's tens of billions of bitcoin money laundering case will be further revealed in the trial starting at the end of this month. Thinking about cross-border money laundering, crypto asset recovery, and the Sino-foreign judicial and regulatory game in the digital currency era will also continue to deepen. The trial of Qian Zhimin at the Southwark Crown Court in London, scheduled to begin on September 29, 2025, will be a milestone test and turning point for the supervision and governance of cross-border financial crimes in the digital currency era.
As far as the current public information is concerned, the British public prosecution agency, the Crown Prosecution Service, has brought very limited charges against Qian Zhimin, neither fraud charges nor money laundering charges. Another civil route, applying for the overseas liquidation of Blue Sky Grey Company in the UK, has not made any substantive progress so far.
