Crypto Scam

🚨 World Record: UK Police Seize 61,000 $BTC in Fraud Case

The largest cryptocurrency seizure in history just made headlines — and it’s straight out of a crime thriller.

🔑 The Numbers

61,000 Bitcoin seized.

Current Value: £5.5B+ ($6.7–7.4B).

Seizing Authority: UK Metropolitan Police.

That’s bigger than even the Bitfinex hack seizure by the U.S. DoJ.

👤 The Mastermind: Zhimin Qian (aka Yadi Zhang, “Goddess of Wealth”)

Ran a Ponzi-style investment scam in China (2014–2017), defrauding 128,000+ victims, mostly elderly.

Fled China with the proceeds in Bitcoin, using a fake St. Kitts & Nevis passport to enter the UK.

💰 The Laundering Scheme

Enlisted Jian Wen, a former takeaway worker, as her “frontwoman.”

Lived in a £5M Hampstead mansion, spending big at Harrods, buying Dubai properties, and traveling first-class.

Covered it all up with a story about a “jewelry business” and “mining profits.”

🚔 The Breakthrough

In 2018, UK police raided her home.

The jackpot? A laptop holding keys to 61,000 BTC in wallets.

⚖️ The Legal Fallout

Qian has now pleaded guilty to acquiring and possessing criminal property.

Accomplice Jian Wen was convicted earlier and jailed for 6 years, 8 months.

The seized Bitcoin sits in limbo as China demands restitution for victims.
