PANews reported on September 30 that Caixin.com published an article disclosing the trial details of the 60,000 bitcoin money laundering case, which pointed out that the cross-border recovery of stolen assets and losses has just begun behind the guilty plea of the main culprit Qian Zhimin. The Sino-British judicial cooperation has ushered in a more difficult test, and substantive justice is still on the way, because Qian Zhimin's guilty plea this time only involves two charges of the British Crown Prosecution Service: obtaining criminal property (cryptocurrency) and holding and transferring criminal property (cryptocurrency).
Qian Zhimin's defense lawyer Roger Sahota changed his defense of innocence and said: "Her guilty plea today hopes to bring some comfort to investors who have been waiting for compensation since 2017, and to assure them that the sharp rise in the value of cryptocurrencies means that there are sufficient funds to repay their losses." However, the message he wanted to convey was somewhat intriguing.
