Ex-Takeaway Worker Convicted in Massive Bitcoin Money Laundering Case

Jian wen was involved in converting Bitcoin to asset




A former takeaway worker, Jian Wen (42), has been found guilty of money laundering linked to a massive £2 billion (now £3.4 billion) Bitcoin scheme.

Wen, previously residing above a Leeds restaurant, used her ill-gotten gains to fund a lavish lifestyle. This included a £17,000-a-month London mansion, posing as a jewelry company employee, and private schooling for her son.

Prosecutors believe the Bitcoin stemmed from an investment fraud in China. Wen allegedly converted the cryptocurrency into luxury assets like houses and jewelry.






This case marks the UK's largest Bitcoin seizure. Wen's attempts to justify her wealth through Bitcoin mining were dismissed. The investigation involved searches, electronic device reviews, and a significant translation effort.

Authorities aim to recover the Bitcoin through a civil case. This conviction highlights the growing use of cryptocurrency in money laundering by criminal organizations. Wen's sentencing is set for May 10th.
