According to Jinse, Yang Yuhua, a partner at UK law firm Junze, analyzed the UK judicial process involving the 60,000 BTC money laundering case led by Qian Zhimin. The case intertwines criminal proceedings, civil forfeiture, and a cross-border victim compensation plan. The UK is seeking to finalize the civil forfeiture quickly, as an earlier ruling from the High Court would allow the government to seize and confiscate the assets sooner, while also determining the compensation amount for victims, including Chinese victims. Public information indicates that the UK High Court is expected to proceed with substantive trial steps in early 2026, aligning closely with the timeline of Chinese police completing verification of investors by late 2025.
