Qian Zhimin, a Chinese woman, was sentenced to eleven years and eight months in prison for money laundering after purchasing billions of pounds worth of cryptocurrency with money stolen from thousands of Chinese pensioners. She fled to London, where she rented a villa and operated a fraudulent company claiming to develop high-tech health products and engage in cryptocurrency mining. Her scheme involved over 120,000 investors, primarily targeting the elderly, and resulted in losses exceeding $5.6 billion. The police investigation was triggered when her assistant could not account for her wealth, leading to a raid that uncovered the fraud. Teljes cikk (Telex.hu)
