Caixin: Qian Zhimin, the main suspect in a 60,000 BTC money laundering case, is expected to be released in 2030.

According to Foresight News , citing Caixin, Qian Zhimin, the mastermind behind a 60,000 BTC money laundering case, was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in prison on Tuesday at the Southwark Crown Court in the UK. Since Qian has already been detained for approximately 18 months since April 23, 2024, this time will be deducted directly from her total sentence. Under the UK's "more than half automatic release" rule, convicted criminals with ordinary determined sentences can enter community supervision after serving more than half their sentence. Based on this, she is expected to be released in late February 2030. In addition, Qian will also be subject to a 5-year Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO), effective upon her release.
