The money launderer involved in the Qian Zhimin case in the UK has been fined approximately 7.6 million US dollars

On January 24th, the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) demanded that Sen Hok Ling, one of the key intermediaries in the Qian Zhimin Bitcoin fraud case and known as a "professional money launderer," pay £ 5 million (approximately $7.6 million) to UK authorities within three months, otherwise he will face up to an additional sentence of up to 8 years. Ling assisted convicted fraudster Qian Zhimin in transferring funds and received 83.7 bitcoins between February and April 2024, which were cashed out through UAE bank accounts and third-party channels. Ling pleaded guilty to money laundering charges in November 2025 and was sentenced to 4 years and 11 months in prison. Qian Zhimin was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months for two counts of money laundering, and the final disposal of 61000 bitcoins under his name is still undergoing relevant civil procedures.
