BREAKING NEWS ๐จ๐ณ Meet Qian Zhimin โ once dubbed the "Goddess of Wealth" โ who just got sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in a UK prison.
Between 2014โ2017, she masterminded a massive Ponzi scheme in China (through platforms like Yimin Wealth / Lantian Gerui), luring in over 128,000 victims โ many everyday people and pensioners โ with promises of up to 300% returns on fake crypto & high-tech investments.
The damage? Around ยฃ4.6 billion (~$6 billion+ USD) stolen. Much of it got converted into Bitcoin and laundered through elaborate international networksโฆ until she fled China in 2017 under a fake identity.
Fast-forward: UK police tracked her down, raided her lavish London mansion, and made what they call the largest single cryptocurrency seizure ever โ 61,000 Bitcoin, worth over ยฃ5 billion ($6.6B+) today.
Justice took years, crossed borders, and showed incredible UK-China cooperation โ but it finally arrived.
Moral of the story?
No matter how glamorous the promises or clever the escape, crypto scams leave digital footprints. The "gods" and "goddesses" of fraud are falling โ one courtroom at a time.
Stay sharp out there, do your own research, and remember: if returns sound too good to be trueโฆ they usually are.
