This Chinese woman orchestrated the largest money laundering case in cryptocurrency history.
This Chinese woman orchestrated one of the largest money laundering cases in cryptocurrency history.
Her name is Qian Zhimi.
She brainwashed 130,000 people, escaping with 43 billion yuan, converting it into 61,000 bitcoins to flee abroad.
This is a simple method she used, along with the subsequent result:
Qian Zhimi was active in Hefei in her early years, participating in several direct sales projects, using the alias Li Xia to work with the camellia oil investment plan.
This was her first time approaching the secret of making money quickly.
In 2013, Qian Zhimi participated in a financial pyramid, a project called Hong Kong UBS International, packaged as cross-border financial investments:
The product is camellia oil, entry is based on membership, and returns depend on the number of people.
The case was investigated by the police, and she successfully escaped, while other operators were gradually arrested.
Soon after, she quietly left Hefei and went to Tianjin.
In March 2014, Tianjin Lantian Ge Rui Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. was established.
Qian Zhimi did not appear in business registration documents, hiding behind the company.
The company publicly stated its focus on technology, launching life bracelets, anti-fatigue seat belts, air purifiers, and bitcoin mining.
In fact, she was preparing for a larger financial game.
The main focus is financial products.
Each investment amounts to 60,000 yuan, promising daily profits for over 30 months, with returns exceeding 200%.
Returns have a progressive structure, with daily profits of 100 yuan in the first 6 months, then increasing monthly.
The contract was written clearly, but no one knew there was no real business support behind it.
"Hua Hua" is an alias that circulates in investment circles.
Qian Zhimi never showed her face, always sitting in a wheelchair, in a pink veil, appearing far in the front row at meetings.
She never spoke, but someone always explained for her:
She has a double PhD from Tsinghua University, bringing back key technologies from the USA.
Furthermore, it is said that she is a behind-the-scenes consultant for key national projects.
Promotional meetings were held nationwide, one after another.
The mine also organized an onsite inspection located in the suburbs of Tianjin.
The warehouse was filled with machines, but all of them were turned off.
Staff said the machine was temporarily turned off, fearing radiation.
Investors had no doubts; they felt even more confident.
She built a sales network consisting of 7 regions, covering the entire country.
Some invested tens of thousands to test the waters, and after receiving returns, added hundreds of thousands or millions.
Some sold their homes, some took out loans, and some brought their families.
Many people from the system invested their pension funds into this.
Qian Zhimi was only responsible for decision-making, while accounts, legal matters, and contracts were handled by others.
Her white glove is Ren Jiantao, the legal representative of Lantian Ge Rui.
According to the decision, he did not even have control over the company's account.
He claimed to have met Qian Zhimi in a game and that he was merely a nominal figure.
In the spring of 2017, Lantian Ge Rui accelerated her expansion.
In the three months leading up to the explosion, dozens of large conferences were held, absorbing the last wave of funds.
By July 27, 2017, the cashback unexpectedly stopped.
The WeChat group was disbanded overnight, and the backend could not be accessed.$BTC
