Will Lyne, Head of Economic and Cybercrime at the Met, stated:
“This is one of the largest money laundering cases in UK history and among the highest-value cryptocurrency cases globally. My thoughts are with the thousands of victims defrauded in this scheme, and I hope today’s outcome acknowledges the harm Qian inflicted.”
The case underscores the growing global risks posed by large-scale cryptocurrency fraud and the challenges of international financial crime enforcement.
