Qian Zhimin, also known as Zhang Yadi (张雅迪), is a Chinese fraudster convicted in the United Kingdom for her role in one of the largest cryptocurrency money laundering cases in history. Between 2014 and 2017, Qian orchestrated a Ponzi scheme in China through her company Tianjin Lantian Gerui Electronic Technology Co Ltd, defrauding more than 128,000 investors of approximately 40 billion yuan. She fled China in 2017 using a forged passport and settled in London, where she attempted to launder the proceeds—stored as Bitcoin - through luxury property purchases. The Metropolitan Police ultimately seized over 61,000 Bitcoin, valued at more than £5 billion at the time of recovery, described as the largest single cryptocurrency seizure by law enforcement in the United Kingdom.
