A procedural hearing on asset disposal in the Qian Zhimin case was held in the UK, with approximately 16,000 Chinese victims registering for civil recovery. According to Caixin, on June 5, the UK High Court held a procedural hearing regarding asset disposal in the Qian Zhimin case. Around 16,000 Chinese victims have registered through multiple UK law firms to participate in civil recovery proceedings under the UK’s Proceeds of Crime Act; the registration window closed on May 22. Next, monitor three key factors: whether funds continue to flow in, whether on-chain transaction volumes and holdings keep increasing, and whether the project team or regulators issue new confirmations. A single news item only indicates heightened sentiment—subsequent data will determine whether this evolves into a sustained trend. Risks must also be acknowledged: this figure represents less than 13% of the roughly 128,000 total victims in the Lan Tian Ge Rui case, and further deduplication is still required.

🚨 MELISSA CASIAS’ BODY FOUND — skeletonized with a gunshot wound in a remote part of Carson National Forest. This is the same Los Alamos scientist who vanished last year. Area had already been searched. Two wiped cell phones left at home. She walked out on foot after dropping her husband off at work. Her husband allegedly told police she was “out running around with a boyfriend.” Pretty flippant for a missing wife. Another government-linked scientist ends up dead under extremely convenient circumstances while the “investigation” goes nowhere. They really expect us to believe this is all random. The only thing they can’t vanish, skeletonize, or memory-hole when it gets too suspicious? Bitcoin Stack sats or stay blind while the scientist body count keeps rising.
