Crypto world’s hidden boss: Aunt Qian Zhiming From 2013 to 2016, Aunt Qian Zhiming ran a pyramid scheme and scammed over 40 billion RMB. Most of it was returned, but with incredible foresight, she spent 1.1 billion RMB to buy 190,000 BTC at an average cost of 6,000 RMB each. She even wrote in her journal that when BTC hits $50,000, she’d sell it all and buy an island in Europe. Later, when the scheme was exposed, she fled to the UK, making it the biggest BTC money laundering case in history. Compared to Aunt Qian, people like Li Xiaolai and Xu Mingxing are just amateurs.
