London Metropolitan Police law enforcement authorities said it was the largest confiscation of its kind in the UK.
In a high-profile case involving a massive cryptocurrency fraud, Jian Wen, a British woman of Chinese descent, was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison for her role in a bitcoin money laundering scheme that profited from a $6 billion investment fraud in China.
In March this year, Ms. Wen Jian, 42, was found guilty of laundering Bitcoin on behalf of her former boss Yadi Zhang (transliterated as Qian Zhimin).
According to a recent report, Qian Zhimin is accused of defrauding approximately 130,000 investors in China, amassing up to $5 billion through investment scams.
