British police uncovered $1.7 billion worth of Bitcoin linked to a woman accused of laundering the proceeds of a $6 billion investment fraud in China, prosecutors said at her London trial.
Jian Wen, 42, a UK citizen, denies allegations she helped launder vast sums amassed by Zhimin Qian, wanted in China for running a fraud scheme that robbed around 130,000 investors. The whereabouts of Zhimin, also known as Yadi Zhang, are unknown.
