From a restaurant delivery woman, to a 25,000-pound "Mercedes-Benz E" owner, to a hostess who owns a 5 million pound mansion, a sudden "get rich" dream is involving this mysterious delivery woman in a huge money laundering whirlpool.
When the term "shocking case" is superimposed with keywords such as "Chinese-British woman", "money laundering", "Bitcoin" and "130,000 victims", a major financial fraud and money laundering case involving huge amounts of money is being unveiled.
01
Recently, the United Kingdom cracked a major money laundering case worth more than 3.4 billion pounds, and Jian Wen, a 42-year-old Chinese female delivery person, was convicted of participating in bitcoin money laundering.

After grasping the key clues, he was involved in a fraud tragedy that happened in China nine years ago. The money laundering involved is the huge amount of money accumulated between 2014 and 2017 that deceived nearly 130,000 Chinese investors.
According to the report, Jian Wen, a 42-year-old Chinese woman, came to the UK with her husband in 2007, and lived in the basement with her son all year round after divorce, and has been living a simple life.
Before the incident, he was only a delivery man working in a British restaurant, and he wore many hats to make a living, including dealing with cryptocurrency. However, in 2018, Jian Wen's life suddenly changed dramatically, she moved from a dark basement to a £5 million mansion in London, drove a Mercedes-Benz E-class, and frequently frequented Harrods, a top luxury department store, and spent a lot of money.
I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. Jian Wen's gorgeous transformation from a delivery boy to a billionaire has attracted great attention from the British police. The drastic changes in their lifestyles, especially when it involved huge financial flows, gave the police a hint of the unusual.
While she was still indulging in luxury and preparing to quit her restaurant job and buy a large £23.5 million mansion, the police had quietly launched an investigation. According to reports, the British police seized 61,000 bitcoins worth more than 3.4 billion pounds on the spot during the raid, which became one of the clues to unlock the secret behind her.
As everyone knows, Jian Wen's past still hides more unknown secrets, and her relationship with the criminal syndicate is far deeper and more complex than imagined.

Under the investigation, Jian Wen's true identity is revealed - she is also a key figure in a multi-billion pound money laundering network, and is inextricably linked to Qian Zhimin, the mastermind behind China's $6.3 billion Ponzi scheme.
Every time one step closer to the truth, a new mystery emerges, and such a dramatic turn makes one wonder if there is a bigger conspiracy behind this?

Qian Zhimin is not simple.
Qian Zhimin's criminal empire involves many links, from fake investment projects, illegal fundraising, to the use of virtual currency to "launder" black money, each link is carefully designed and interlocked, forming an impenetrable criminal network.
His "wealth management plan" may seem tempting, but it is actually an elaborate Ponzi scheme with victims all over the country and billions of yuan involved.
However, after weaving this criminal network, Qian Zhimin did not choose to sit back and enjoy the success, but planned the escape road early. When the conspiracy was exposed, he used a forged passport to escape to the United Kingdom under the identity of Zhang Yadi, quietly transferred the proceeds of crime overseas, and disappeared from the public eye as an "invisible person".
To this day, Qian Zhimin's true identity and background are still shrouded in a veil of mystery.
Qian Zhimin, the mastermind of the case, is like a cunning fox, he often uses the pseudonym "Zhang Yadi" to claim that he is a successful investor and entrepreneur. But in fact, there is no way to verify his true identity, background and other information.
And this deliberately created mysterious image also makes it more difficult for him to be tracked and identified in criminal activities. Although the police launched an all-out pursuit, Qian Zhimin seemed to have evaporated from the world and has not been caught yet.

Under his manipulation, Jian Wen has become a key link in the money laundering chain from an ordinary Chinese-British woman, "laundering" her illegal gains, and becoming a "pawn" in his criminal empire.
Jian Wen's job is also very simple, which is to convert bitcoin into pounds, and comprador all kinds of jewelry, luxury goods and real estate all over Europe, hiding her true purpose.
In this way, Jian Wen gradually became a tool for Qian Zhimin's money laundering from a restaurant delivery person, and in the process of assisting in the transfer of bitcoin assets, she indulged in a luxurious life and fell into the abyss of crime step by step.
At that time, she only saw a good salary and a seemingly legitimate business, but she never expected that she would become a pawn in a huge criminal network.

According to the disclosure, the huge amount of money laundered by Jian Wen originated from China's "Kunming Pan Asia Nonferrous Metals Case" between 2014 and 2017, which deceived nearly 130,000 investors and involved billions of yuan. Qian Zhimin illegally absorbed deposits from the public and used virtual currency to launder money, while Jian Wen was responsible for "bleaching" the black money.
In other words, the bitcoins in Jian Wen's hands are the product of this huge criminal network, and it can be said that each one carries the blood, sweat and tears of innocent investors.

The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky.
Such a crazy throwing of money finally attracted the attention of the relevant departments and made it the target of the investigation. In 2018, British police conducted a raid on the manor rented by the duo and seized electronic devices including 61,000 bitcoins on the spot, with a market value of billions of pounds.
After Jian Wen was arrested, she insisted that she was deceived by Qian Zhimin and knew nothing about the source of funds, but in the face of ironclad criminal facts, Jian Wen's defense pale in comparison, and the jury would not buy it.
Whatever the motive, assisting in money laundering is a serious violation of social justice, and Jian Wen should pay the price for her crimes and accept severe punishment from the law.

Eventually, she was convicted of one count of money laundering and was classified as a Category A offender facing a lengthy prison sentence. For Jian Wen, a life behind bars is both a punishment for her crimes and the beginning of self-redemption.
After 9 years of unsolved cases, I thought that the case could end with Jian Wen's conviction, however, Qian Zhimin's impunity was like a thorn in the victim's heart, so that the case never ended completely.
Although Jian Wen's crime has been severely punished by law, the real mastermind, Qian Zhimin, is still at large, so that countless victims always have an unresolved regret and endless expectations in their hearts.
This state of suspense is like a dark cloud hanging over the victim's head, difficult to shake away, heavy and oppressive.
In the contest between the temptation of money and the bottom line of morality, the fragility of human nature is exposed.
The encounter between Jian Wen and Qian Zhimin was like a joke of fate, reduced to a discarded chess piece, pushing her into the abyss of crime. The overwhelming media reports have deeply bound Jian Wen's name to the world's largest money laundering case, and the seemingly ordinary Chinese-British woman in the past has now become the "female version of Ponzi" in the public's mouth.
From an ordinary Chinese-British woman, to a key figure in the world's largest money laundering case, to a criminal in prison, its dramatic turn is suffocating.
Jian Wen's ending, like the abrupt end of a gorgeous adventure, makes people sigh: "Greed and desire are enough to push an otherwise kind ordinary person into the abyss of crime." ”
The wind and rain of the past are cloudy, and the clouds are faint at that time.
What awaits them will eventually be the judgment of the law, the long torture of a life behind bars, and the pain and remorse in their hearts.
