Two people who laundered over £5.5billion worth of Bitcoin have been jailed for a total of 15 years.
Malaysian national Hok Seng Ling, 47, pleaded guilty at London’s Southwark Crown Court to entering into a money laundering arrangement.
His accomplice, Chinese national Zhimin Qian, 47, also admitted to money laundering, which gave her the title ‘Goddess of Wealth’, due to her lavish lifestyle.
Both appeared in Southwark Crown Court. Qian was sentenced to 11 years and eight months. Ling was sentenced to four years and 11 months.
Qian fled China with false documents before entering the UK and laundering money through property purchases, the Metropolitan Police said.
