[28,600 BTC Wallet Cluster Suspected to Be Linked to Zhimin Qian Money Laundering Case]
According to on-chain investigator Specter, a wallet cluster holding 28,600 BTC (valued at approximately $1.8 billion) has been identified and is suspected to be connected to wallets previously attributed to the Zhimin Qian money laundering case. A few weeks ago, an address dormant since 2017 transferred 1,020 BTC (approximately $60 million) and distributed the funds across multiple addresses in a pattern consistent with money laundering. Specter’s tracking revealed that this wallet cluster is linked to addresses associated with the Zhimin Qian investigation in the UK. Between 2014 and 2017, Zhimin Qian organized large-scale investment fraud in China, affecting over 128,000 victims. The UK Met Police eventually seized 60,000 BTC, marking the largest cryptocurrency seizure in UK history at the time.
