6.1 Million Bitcoin Money Laundering Case Compensation Mechanism Questioned, Chinese Victims Have Launched Legal Challenge in the UK
According to the Financial Times, victims of investment fraud in China are challenging a compensation arrangement involving approximately 61,000 bitcoins in a UK court. Representatives of the victims have filed an application with the High Court of England, seeking to overturn the proposal for compensation through the Chinese compensation mechanism, arguing that this plan may allow UK authorities to retain significant asset appreciation gains.
These bitcoins were seized by the UK police during a money laundering investigation in London and are currently valued at around £3.2 billion (approximately $4.3 billion). It is reported that the law firm Candey represents about 5,700 victims in opposition, claiming that the current compensation scheme fails to ensure fair compensation.
The fraud case is led by Qian Zhimin and involves over 128,000 Chinese investors, with the proceeds of the fraud converted into bitcoins and transferred overseas between 2014 and 2017. The UK prosecution has stated that some claims may result in a few victims and litigation funders receiving compensation exceeding their actual losses.
