China News Weekly published an article "Give you three generations of wealth" boss, ran away with 61,000 bitcoins, "which revealed that according to judicial documents obtained by the magazine about Qian Zhimin's British bitcoin money laundering case, most of the bitcoins involved are believed to be from her large-scale fraud in China. In June 2014, Qian Zhimin opened a digital currency trading account in the name of others, and used more than 1.10 billion yuan of stolen money to buy bitcoins. If the market value of bitcoin is calculated at the highest price since 2024, it is worth more than 32 billion yuan.
The lawyer analyzed that Qian Zhimin fled to the UK in September 2017. On September 4 of the same year, the central bank and seven other ministries and commissions issued the "Announcement on Preventing the Financing Risks of Token Issuance". Since then, the virtual digital currency exchange has closed the exchange channel between RMB and virtual digital currency. That is to say, Qian Zhimin could use the stolen money to buy bitcoin directly on the trading platform before the crime, and with the absence of anti-money laundering measures such as the real-name system for accounts at that time, she could easily escape with bitcoin.
