The final verdict on the UK's largest bitcoin money laundering suspect, British-Chinese Wen Jian, has been postponed to May 24

On March 18, local time in the UK, Jian Wen, a 42-year-old British Chinese, was found guilty of "participating in arranging money laundering" by a British court and could be sentenced to up to 14 years in prison. Jian Wen's defense lawyer Mark Harries said that due to the judge's busy affairs, the British court has postponed the final verdict on Jian Wen, which was originally scheduled for May 10, to May 24. Jian Wen served Qian Zhimin, who had deceived more than 120,000 Chinese investors. On April 24, local time, Qian Zhimin appeared in court in London. She was accused of obtaining, using or holding cryptocurrency related to crime in London and other parts of the UK from October 1, 2017 to April 23, 2024, which originated from the huge economic fraud she committed in China. During the investigation of Wen Qian and his partner, the British police seized more than 61,000 bitcoins, the largest amount of cryptocurrency ever seized in the UK (based on the conversion of one bitcoin to about 50,190 pounds on May 10, the value is about 3.06 billion pounds).
