According to Jinse Finance, citing Caixin, Qian Zhimin, the main perpetrator in the 60,000 bitcoin money laundering case, has been sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in prison in the UK. However, since Qian Zhimin has already been detained for about 18 months since April 23, 2024, this period will be directly deducted from her total sentence. According to the UK's "automatic release after serving half the sentence" rule, ordinary offenders with a fixed-term sentence can be transferred to community supervision after serving half their sentence. Based on this, she is expected to be released in late February 2030. In addition, Qian Zhimin will also be subject to a Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO) for five years, which will take effect after her release. Analysis points out that Qian Zhimin's sentencing marks the end of the criminal proceedings in this case, but the truly complex issue of how to deal with the 60,000 bitcoins has only just begun.
