Opinion: It is unrealistic for Chinese victims of the Qian Zhimin case to expect BTC prices to soar and receive "satisfactory" high compensation

BlockBeats News, January 25 — According to Caixin, in the case of Qian Zhiming’s 60,000 BTC money laundering case, the UK prosecution still insists that the proposal it submitted to the court on October 15, 2025, to “reserve (provision) certain assets for the overall compensation arrangement for the numerous Chinese victims in the civil recovery process” is the most effective practical solution.

This means that once the asset (funds) amount is reserved, law enforcement agencies from China and the UK can cooperate in the future to transfer the assets (funds) to China to implement specific victim compensation plans, providing compensation after verifying the victims’ identities and losses. Under this approach, it is not realistic for Chinese victims to expect to receive relatively “satisfactory” high compensation through Bitcoin’s years-long price surge. The implied compensation boundary of this proposal most likely refers to the actual losses that victims have registered and confirmed with Chinese police.
