$7.6B BITCOIN FRAUDSTER PLEADS GUILTY IN UK’S BIGGEST CRYPTO CASE

Zhimin Qian, who ran a Ponzi scheme in China, fled with the loot, and laundered it into bitcoin, just pleaded guilty in London.

Police found 61,000 bitcoin on her devices in a Hampstead mansion, now worth over £5bn, but didn’t clock it until three years later.

She spent her days in bed gaming and shopping online, while dreaming of ruling a fake nation called “Liberland” as a “Reincarnated Goddess.”

The crown she planned? £5 million. The crown she’s getting? Probably made of prison bars.
