November 12th: Presently, Tang Kriang Kai, a Cambodian Chinese national and a transnational criminal engaged in an illegal blockchain fundraising project, was accompanied by the Thai police to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport and extradited to China. Prior to this, on November 10th, the Office of the Attorney General of Thailand declared that the Appeals Court affirmed the ruling of the first-instance court to extradite Tang Kriang Kai to China for trial regarding his illegal activities such as operating an illegal casino, which violated Chinese law. Tang Kriang Kai's principal crime was to establish and operate 239 illegal gambling websites, with the involved funds amounting to more than 1.263 trillion Thai Baht (approximately RMB 2.77 trillion).

On November 12th, according to a report by Caixin, Qian Zhimin, the mastermind behind a 60,000 BTC money laundering case, was sentenced to 11 years and 8 months in prison at Southwark Crown Court in the UK on Tuesday. Since Qian Zhimin was remanded in custody on April 23, 2024, and about 18 months have passed, this time will be directly deducted from his total sentence. According to the UK's "automatic release halfway" rule, ordinary offenders with fixed sentences can transition to the community supervision stage after serving half of their sentences. Based on this calculation, it is expected that she will be released in late February 2030. In addition, Qian Zhimin will also be subject to a 5-year Serious Crime Prevention Order (SCPO), which will take effect upon her release. Analysts point out that Qian Zhimin's sentencing marks the end of the criminal aspect of this case, but the real complexity of how to handle the 60,000 bitcoins has just begun.
