Chinese woman Yadi Zhang, accused of a $6B Ponzi scheme, faces up to 14 years after UK seized $6B in Bitcoin and her luxury assets.
Chinese businesswoman Zhimin Qian, also known as Yadi Zhang, faces up to 14 years in prison in the UK after authorities seized over 61,000 Bitcoins—worth more than $6 billion—linked to a Ponzi scheme she ran in China from 2014 to 2017, defrauding more than 128,000 investors.
After fleeing to Britain using fake documents, she laundered the stolen funds through luxury properties, including a £23 million London mansion.
Qian was arrested in April 2024 following surveillance of her co-defendant, Seng Hok Ling, who admitted to money laundering, while another accomplice, Jian Wen, had already been jailed.
Having pleaded guilty to possessing criminal property, Qian now awaits sentencing as UK authorities work to recover and return the stolen assets to victims who lost their life savings.
