Zhimin Qian, also known as Yadi Zhang, 45, orchestrated a fraud in China between 2014 and 2017 that left 128,000 people out of pocket.
She stored the proceeds in bitcoin, but UK authorities made a breakthrough in the case when they raided a Hampstead mansion in 2018 and seized devices from Qian holding 61,000 bitcoins, worth more than £5bn at current prices
bullshit story to scare clueless nocoiners. bitcoin cannot be "seized", only if:
"seizing" some devices, it doesn't mean they seize also the bitcoin.
Seized is mostly a legal term. Even though seizing bitcoin is only possible under the conditions you mentioned, in practice it is historically something that has happened many times.
Who else thinks the sale of 61,000 will bring another by the dip opportunity?
Feels like there might be more to this story.
