Don't remind me again today

New information has emerged in Qian Zhimin's case in the past couple of days.



Here's the thing: the protagonist kept crucial information to herself and only reluctantly gave up the wallet password right before the court hearing. As a result, the police were stunned after unlocking it—her previous statements were completely incomplete.

Everyone initially thought that the case involved just over 60,000 bitcoins. But when they opened the wallet, they found all sorts of altcoins, stablecoins, and the like stuffed inside, adding up to a total value of 67 million pounds. A typical "cunning rabbit has three burrows" strategy, dispersing the stolen funds in the hopes of evading detection. Naive.

More dramatically, the High Court of England is just discussing what to do with this batch of coins today. With such a large volume, whether they choose to auction, custody, or directly sell, it will definitely have a chain reaction on the secondary market.

To be honest, her method of hiding is really amateurish. Does she really think that by setting a password and spreading it across several wallets she can rest easy? If law enforcement gets serious, every transaction on the blockchain can be traced clearly. No matter how deep illegal gains are hidden, they will ultimately become evidence in court.

Now the biggest suspense has arrived: how will the newly exposed £67 million be classified? Will it be confiscated along with the more than 60,000 Bitcoins from before? The case itself is serious enough, and now there is such a large hidden asset, isn't this just adding to the penalty for oneself?

What do you think? Is she really overconfident, or is she betting on a luck that doesn't exist?
