A London court has found Wen Jian, a 42-year-old British woman, guilty of laundering Bitcoin tied to a $6 billion fraud in China. Jian assisted a Chinese fugitive in laundering money between 2017 and 2022, and was convicted on one count of money laundering. The Bitcoin, worth over £1.7 billion ($2.2 billion) at the time of seizure in 2018, was traced back to an investment scam that defrauded around 130,000 Chinese investors.
