According to the Daily Mail UK, a man who laundered funds for a fraudster involved in a 5.5-billion-pound scam has surrendered 5.6 million pounds to the UK government. 48-year-old Hok Seng Ling, who pleaded guilty to participating in what is considered the UK’s largest money laundering case by value, was ordered by the court to hand over the funds. He served as the "butler" of Qian Zhimin, who orchestrated a Ponzi scheme that defrauded over 128,000 Chinese investors between 2014 and 2017, then converted the illicit proceeds into bitcoin and fled to the UK. Malaysian national Ling, who resides in Matlock, Derbyshire, assisted the so-called "Bitcoin Queen" in laundering illegal funds, helping her evade UK police pursuit by booking Airbnb accommodations and arranging support staff. Last November, after Ling pleaded guilty to money laundering-related offenses at Southwark Crown Court in London, he was sentenced to 4 years and 11 months in prison. A confiscation order was later issued, requiring him to surrender 5,603,305 pounds, most of which came from cryptocurrency seized at his arrest. The full sum has now been recovered, along with an additional 1,990 pounds in interest.

Beating AI News: 17-year-old former Kimi researcher Chen Guangyu has been revealed to join Discovery Loop, an AI company founded by former Google chief scientist Jeff Dean. On October 20, Arfur Grok, an anonymous account tracking Silicon Valley AI talent movement, broke the news. Chen announced his departure from Kimi just five days prior; he previously worked on Attention Residuals architecture research and the development of Kimi K3. Discovery Loop was founded in August this year by Jeff Dean and three other Google veterans. The company plans to enable AI to independently propose research hypotheses, run thousands of experiments in parallel, and continuously adjust its approach based on results. It initially focuses on AI model development, with future expansion into sectors including healthcare, materials science, and energy. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is one of its founding investors. The company has not yet launched a public product, but its valuation is already staggering. Business Insider reported in September that Discovery Loop is seeking funding at a valuation of around $50 billion. Earlier, Silicon Valley investor Deedy Das mentioned a 17-year-old who received five million-dollar-level AI job offers; outside speculation pointed to Chen, though Das never publicly disclosed the individual’s identity.
