TechFlow news, on November 11, according to Caixin, Qian Zhimin, the main perpetrator in the 60,000 Bitcoin money laundering case, was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in the UK. However, since Qian Zhimin has already been detained since April 23, 2024—approximately 18 months—this period will be directly deducted from her total sentence. Under the UK's "over half automatic release" rule, ordinary determinate sentence offenders can transfer to community supervision after serving half of their sentence. Based on this calculation, she is expected to be released by late February 2030. Additionally, Qian Zhimin will be subject to a five-year Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO), effective upon her release. Analysts point out that Qian Zhimin’s sentencing marks the end of the criminal aspect of the case, but the truly complex issue of how to handle the 60,000 Bitcoins has only just begun.
