Caixin: Qian Zhimin, the main criminal in the 60,000 bitcoin money laundering case, is expected to be released in late February 2030

According to Caixin, Qian Zhimin, the main criminal in the 60,000 Bitcoin money laundering case, was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in prison in the UK, but since Qian Zhimin has been detained for about 18 months since April 23, 2024, this time will be deducted directly from her total sentence. According to the UK's "automatic release of more than half" rule, ordinary convicted criminals can be transferred to community supervision after serving more than half of their sentence. According to this, she is expected to be released in late February 2030. In addition, Qian Zhimin will also be sentenced to a five-year Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO), which will take effect after her release from prison. The analysis pointed out that Qian Zhimin's sentencing has brought the criminal part of the case to an end, but the really complex issue of how to deal with the 60,000 bitcoins is just beginning.
