The UK is moving to expedite the civil forfeiture of 60,000 BTC involved in a money laundering case led by Qian Zhimin. The case, which includes criminal proceedings and a cross-border victim compensation plan, aims to allow the government to seize and confiscate the assets quickly. An earlier High Court ruling could facilitate this process, determining compensation for victims, including those in China. The UK High Court is expected to begin substantive trial steps in early 2026, coinciding with the completion of investor verification by Chinese authorities by late 2025. This timeline reflects the coordinated efforts between UK and Chinese legal systems to address the complex case efficiently.
