TechFlow news, on November 11, according to Caixin, Qian Zhimin, the main suspect in the high-profile case involving the money laundering of 60,000 bitcoins, attended a sentencing hearing prior to her final judgment at Southwark Crown Court in London. During the hearing, the UK Crown Prosecution Service further disclosed key details about Qian Zhimin's money laundering route from the Tianjin-based Blue Sky Grace fraud case in China to the UK:
Qian Zhimin purchased a total of 194,951 bitcoins, took over 70,000 bitcoins with her when fleeing China using a laptop computer, meticulously planned her escape route, and received assistance from multiple individuals. During her second attempt to flee in the UK, she hired four servants and bodyguards.
Caixin observed in court that Qian Zhimin, seated in the defendant’s dock, wore a light-yellow Chinese-style Tang suit adorned with green embroidered patterns, featuring traditional knotted buttons and a high collar, her hair tied up in a bun, appearing calm and composed. Compared to her somewhat nervous demeanor during her first court appearance on September 29, she appeared much more composed this time.
