Frau mit Bitcoin im Wert von 2 Milliarden Pfund gefunden wegen Geldwäsche-Vergehen verurteilt – BBC News

tldr; Jian Wen, a former takeaway worker, was convicted at Southwark Crown Court for a money laundering arrangement offense, involving over £2bn in Bitcoin. Living initially above a Chinese restaurant in Leeds, Wen’s criminal activities allowed her to move into a luxurious lifestyle, including renting a six-bedroom house in North London and attempting to purchase expensive properties. Despite her claims of earning millions through Bitcoin mining, she failed money-laundering checks. The Met’s extensive investigation into Wen’s activities is part of a larger effort to combat the use of cryptocurrency in illegal operations. Wen is set to be sentenced on May 10, with a High Court freezing order in place on the Bitcoin, now valued at around £3.4bn.
