1. Behind the largest money laundering case in history - Blue Sky Greui

Based on some clues, It is speculated that behind this major money laundering case of 5 billion pounds (equivalent to 6.3 billion U.S. dollars) in the UK is actually the illegal fund-raising case of Blue Sky Gerui.

The reason why this case was ignored is that the official did not announce the total amount of money or the number of people involved. There is no more relevant information for comparison.

2. Sort out the overall ins and outs of this matter

Blue Sky GreenThe protagonist company in the case is Tianjin Blue Sky Green Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. The company was established in In 2014, although the company's name carries the word electronic technology, it actually launched a number of so-called "short-term investment and financial management" products using guaranteed capital and high returns as bait, and established dozens of companies in 30 provinces and cities across the country through pyramid schemes. branches. The victims are mainly elderly.

The terms of these financial products range from half a year to 30 months, the investment starting point ranges from 6,000 to 60,000, and the advertised annualized rate of return is - 100% to 300%.

In August 2017, because the boss behind it, Qian Zhimin (nicknamed Huahua), absconded with money, the company’s funds completely collapsed. At the end of 2017, the public security opened a case and announced the arrest of more than 50 people in 2019. , In December 2022, Blue Sky Grei will start the compensation process.

Although the police arrested more than 50 people, they did not catch Qian Zhimin, the real boss of Lantian Gerui.

In fact, from beginning to end, the Lantian Gerui case was nicknamed Huahua Qian Zhimin has always been hidden behind the scenes and has never come to the front.

When Blue Sky Green Company was established in 2014, Qian Zhimin used high salary and bonuses to persuade employee Ren Jiangtao to become the company’s sole shareholder and legal representative. Qian Zhimin also asked Ren Jiangtao to open a Huobi account specifically for purchasing Bitcoin. Faced with Ren Jiangtao's doubts, Qian Zhimin promised to solve all problems.

The promise of the boss of the scam company is naturally worthless. In July 2017, on the eve of the thunderstorm, Qian Zhimin withdrew Bitcoin worth tens of billions of yuan from Ren Jiangtao’s currency account to his laptop I ran away with my laptop in the cold wallet.

The escape of boss Qian Zhimin was naturally carefully arranged. Before running away, Qian Zhimin first bought a Myanmar passport in the name of NAN YIN, and then pretended to be Zhang Yadi. Kitts and Nevis’s real identity.

While running away, Qian Zhimin entered Laos using a Myanmar passport, and then flew from Laos to the UK using a St. Kitts and Nevis passport.

After successfully running away, Qian Zhimin came to the UK as Zhang Yadi.

Qian Zhimin suffered a car accident, was breathing heavily, walked with a limp, and could hardly speak any English. Alone, she needs a companion and assistant, and Chinese is the best.

At this time, the Chinese Wen jian saw a forwarded information about recruiting assistants on WeChat. After meeting in the lobby of a hotel, Wenjian became Zhangyadi (Qian Zhimin)'s "accompanying person" and assistant”.

Qian Zhimin has a grand plan on how to escape guilt.

Qian Zhimin wrote in his diary that he first bought a private country called Liberland (a very interesting country, you can check it out), then built the largest Buddhist temple in Europe, and then invited The Grand Lama (you know the one) canonized her as the reincarnated goddess and Queen of Liberland. After becoming the head of a state, you will naturally obtain diplomatic immunity.

Imagination is wonderful, but reality is reality. Even tens of billions of assets cannot buy health. In real life, Qian Zhimin, who has limited legs and feet, stays in bed for more than 20 hours a day. He has nightmares when he sleeps. When he wakes up, he uses his laptop to play games, shop and sell Bitcoins.

In 2018, Qian Zhimin and Wenjian tried to use Bitcoin to buy a mansion worth 25 million pounds. However, because they could not explain the source of the funds, they failed to buy the house. Instead, the two Spotted by the British anti-money laundering police.

On October 31, 2018, police from Scotland Yard searched the mansion where the two lived together with a search warrant, and some electronic equipment was seized.

What was seized along with the equipment was Qian Zhimin’s Yadi passport. Contrary to expectations, Qian Zhimin and Wenjian were not detained. Even half a year later, the police returned the seized passports to Qian Zhimin.

In August 2020, the two people’s mansion was raided for the second time. According to Scotland Yard police, 110 million pounds of Bitcoin was transferred during the two random checks.

A month after the second search, and the day before the police summoned Qian Zhimin, Qian Zhimin disappeared from the UK.

Three years after the electronic devices were seized, in 2021, British police discovered 61,000 Bitcoins hidden in them - worth approximately 3.4 billion pounds.

In the face of huge amounts of money, neither the judge nor the jury asked the police why it took three years to "crack" and discover 61,000 Bitcoins even though they had the wallet password, nor did they delve into why they needed to. Return the passport to Qian Zhimin.

Everything was carried out in the simplest way, and the jury convicted Wenjian of money laundering.

3. Will BTC be divided equally?

According to British practice, if no one claims the seized stolen money, the Ministry of the Interior and the police will divide the 61,000 Bitcoins equally - each side will take away 1.7 billion pounds.

According to British officials, China has not yet contacted the British police regarding this case.

Look, how miraculous it is. After some operations, the money of 130,000 Chinese victims finally became the wages of British police officers - and they can be paid for many years.
