Qian Zhimin, a 47-year-old Chinese woman dubbed the "Cryptoqueen," will face a 14-year jail term for her role in a multibillion-dollar Bitcoin scam. Zhimin had fled China in 2017 after stealing $5.6 billion from over 100,000 Chinese pensioners. She went to UK, converted the money into Bitcoin and lived a lavish life, including renting a mansion for over £17,000/month.
